You know, you're going about it wrong.  You're supposed to approximate
the physical *brush strokes*, not the objects they represent...;)

Excellent interpretation Jim. Well done just for the effort, I like very much.

Great, great work. i like it very much.
To give some constructive criticism
I've just seen the original painting and I think you'll need:
Some pointlights with FP and FD.
Photons
The wall, with the technique made by Jaime Vives or similar would
improve the picture a lot.

Great modelling (I love the cup)

Thanks for your enthusiasm.
The version visible at
  http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/art/c/claesz/roemer.jpg
is distinctly brown in color.  The version I was referencing from a book 
shows the painting as much more greenish, such that it seems a harmony 
of delicate grey-greens and greys, building up to the green of the olive.

Not sure what you mean here.  I am using two spotlights so far.  One is 
also an area light, the other is pointed at the wall

Would love to.  Tried without much success though.

Yes I think I will play with the wall and in fact the whole picture some 
more.  Because of the hybred reflective textures, the render time is 
quite long however.

At least, one light (the type you want) close to the cristal cup using fade
power 2 and low fade distance to bring some light to the cristal cup and
create a caustic in the metal one. If it's needed, you can group it with
both cups. Perhaps another in the wall would improve the image.

Hope this helps.
Waiting to see the next version.
