| Description |
English: Fresh flowers in all their fragile, transient beauty and variety were not available in the winter nor could specimens be preserved, as could those of animals, so flower paintings, drawings, or colored prints were especially treasured by collectors. The flamboyant sweep of the composition and emphasis on blossoms that are full to slightly past their prime mark this flower piece as from the second half of the 17th century when the baroque style touched even flower painting. This is a rare signed piece by the daughter of Jan Peeters I, who worked in Antwerp. Only her birth date is known. |
