copy after Willem van Aelst (1627 - in or after 1683)

A Vase of Flowers with a Watch

A527; oil on canvas; 66 x 53 cm

Prov: (?)Pieter Locquet

Bequeathed by Daisy Linda Ward, 1939; WA1940.2.3

Meijer 2003, no. 4

Comparison with a nearly identical version of this composition in the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco suggests that A527 is a very careful copy, probably by a close follower of the artist, possibly painted in his studio. Hendrick de Fromantiou and Nicolaes Lachtropius have both been proposed as the copyist.
