Specialist note

We are grateful to Dr. Fred Meijer for suggesting that this set of paintings may be by a central European artist familiar with the work of J. Bouttats, a still life painter whose works were avidly acquired by Prague's leading families and display the influence of Melchior d'Hondecoeter.
