Holding a Cherry

Six-year-old Girl holding a Cherry, by Dutch painter Jan Claesz, 1594. The cherry as a symbol for the fruit of heaven, a reward for a virtuous life.

 

But, you will never succeed holding the cherry as the girl does. Unless you are always honest enough.....

On display at Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede, Holland.
