Festoen van vruchten, Anonymous, Paul Fürst, c. 1600 - before 1624

After reading that overview of carrots in the different centuries I checked out the collection at
www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/ to see what artists had laying around to serve as a model. I suppose they could just do them from memory but it seems forking was considered normal in this first design. I love this engraving!!
This next one is early 17th century.

| Woman Selling Vegetables, Lambertus Johannes Hansen, 1825 - 1845 |
Pieter Aertsen's work below appears to have a redder carrot and an orange variety (and a rather odd lady).
 |
| early 16th century |
The next two are more to my liking, the works of Pieter Aertsen's nephew, Joachim Beuckelaer. He uses almost the same carrot arrangement in both paintings...
