		Abraham Mignon is regarded as one of the most faithful followers of Jan Davidsz de Heem.
		The curved bowl of Mignon's large, dark green roemer (similar to the example displayed in the adjacent case), which has been placed upside down on the table, contains the reflection of a window, and in the window a church tower, one of many which the cathedral city of Utrecht then boasted.
		The richness of the materials and the variety of objects portrayed gave Mignon ample opportunity to display his expertise in the rendering of texture (especially the purple Spanish grapes).

		Mignon's paintings of flowers and fruit show the same opulent style of composition and the same brilliant colors as De Heem's work.
		Mignon built the composition up with great care: from small objects in the left foreground, like the orange and the oysters on the flat pewter plate, to large items towards the back on the right, such as the pumpkin and the gold cup.
		Mignon demonstrates just how skilfully he could handle perspective in the lid of the gold cup, lying on the table.

	Still-Life by MIGNON, Abraham
		Like van Schrieck and Ruysch, Abraham Mignon also composed dioramic situations in the form of forest still-lifes.
		In Mignon's painting the artist arranged the fruit in such a way that it is framed vertically by branches growing upwards from the ground.
		These branches, which are probably intended to indicate an oak tree, are completely covered with moss and seem almost dried up, though some shoots can be identified which indicate the tree's ability to survive.
