The Story

In 1722, Jan van Huysum painted “Fruit Piece”, a lavish still life that brilliantly captured the beauty of nature in rich, vibrant detail. Known for combining the realism of 17th-century Dutch painting with the bold, bright colors of the 18th century, Van Huysum’s work is a celebration of life at its fullest. In Fruit Piece, overripe fruit spills over a ledge, some being nibbled by insects, while flowers, heavy with extravagant blooms, droop gracefully. Van Huysum’s meticulous technique—painstakingly applying layers of glaze—brought a lifelike translucence to the grapes, a crispness to the leaves, and a wiry texture to the vines, making each detail stand out.

Our Fruit Piece pocket square and neckerchief mirror the rich textures and vivid colours found in Van Huysum’s work. Every fold and drape of the fabric reflects the beauty of nature, offering a timeless piece that blends art and fashion. With this neckerchief, you carry a touch of history and sophistication, bringing a sense of vibrant, classic beauty to any outfit.
