Still-Life

1627
Oil on panel, 51 x 74 cm
Private collection

The picture shows a still-life with an overturned basket of flowers. The artist has arranged a basket of flowers on a wooden table facing the viewer. He arranged the flowers as he pleases, charmingly combining the daintiness of the tulips, roses and irises. A china bowl filled with fruit counterbalances the composition with the help of delicious colours.
