Still-Life
by BAERS, Johannes, Oil on canvas, octagonal, 104 x 147 cm
This painting, signed by JB.ft., shows a still-life of apples, pears, peaches and plums with grapes and walnuts in a wicker basket, together with flowers, including tulips, irises and carnations in a blue and white vase upon a table top. It is one of three works combining the motifs of both fruit and flower displays and enlivened by numerous insects, all of which bear a similar monogram.
