An autographed still life with fruits and oysters on canvas dated to 1652 was auctioned at Sotheby's on 28 May 1965. That still life is very similar to a ''Still life with bread and lobster'' auctioned at Lempertz on 21 November 2009 (Vienna lot 1062). In particular the depiction of lemons in both pictures is very similar.
