Still-Life
Private collection
still-lifeThis painting depicts a still-life of flowers in a niche with cherries, insects and a caterpillar. The bouquet is contained in a Dutch roemer and comprises some fifteen varieties of flower, from the humble forget-me-not draped on the ledge to the resplendent flame tulip crowning the composition. The blooms are arranged in elegant disarray within a stone niche, in a manner reminiscent of Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder and Roelant Savery, by whom the artist was undoubtedly influenced.
