"Ham and a sweetmeat pie on pewter plates, peaches, grapes, figs and plums in a basket, a bread roll, oranges, a sprig of cherries, a bunch of grapes" is a still life painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Joris van Son (1623–1667). This work exemplifies the sumptuous and detailed style of van Son, who was renowned for his skill in depicting a variety of textures and surfaces, from the metallic sheen of pewter to the delicate skin of fruit. The painting is a celebration of abundance and the sensory pleasures of food, rendered with a high degree of naturalism that was characteristic of the still life genre in the 17th century.

In this composition, van Son arranges an assortment of fruits and delicacies in a manner that is both aesthetically pleasing and symbolically rich. The juxtaposition of the ham and sweetmeat pie with an array of fresh and ripe fruits not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also reflects the contemporary interest in the transience of life and the concept of vanitas—a theme commonly explored in still life paintings of the period. The inclusion of various food items, each with its own stage of ripeness or consumption, may allude to the passage of time and the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures.

Joris van Son was part of a larger movement of still life painters in Antwerp, which included figures such as Frans Snyders and Jan Davidsz. de Heem. His works are noted for their vibrant color palette and the intricate detail with which he rendered objects, contributing to the viewer's understanding of the material culture of his time. "Ham and a sweetmeat pie on pewter plates, peaches, grapes, figs and plums in a basket, a bread roll, oranges, a sprig of cherries, a bunch of grapes" remains an important example of van Son's oeuvre and of the still life genre in Flemish Baroque art. The painting is not only a visual feast but also an invitation to contemplate the richness and complexity of the world, as well as the impermanence of all things.
