"A "Forest Floor" Still-Life"
by BEGEYN, Abraham Jansz., Oil on canvas, 41 x 36 cm
The painting depicts a “forest floor” still-life of plants and flowers by a wall with an urn; beyond are elegant figures outside a classical mansion.
Begeyn is a versatile painter who produced numerous landscapes. Occasionally, he devotes almost all of his subject to the “forest floor” in a manner reminiscent of Otto Marseus van Schrieck.
