专家说明

As one of the earliest known examples of his work, the present picture demonstrates Drechsler’s virtuosity as both a founding figure and leading exponent of the Viennese school of flower painting. With strong, bright colours and a softer finish on the panel, his distinctive palette distinguishes him from his Dutch and Flemish contemporaries through a controlled and naturalistic style, while his floral movements form strong Baroque diagonals more typical of the later 18th century.
