Note du spécialiste

Though previously sold as by Monnoyer, the present painting has since been identified as a typical work by Jean-Michel Picart. Picart was a Flemish painter who moved to Paris sometime around 1638 and established a lucrative career painting mostly flowers and some fruit still-lifes. He lived in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris along with many of the other Flemish artists who emigrated to that city.
