Artist: Willem Van Leen
Large watercolor attributed to Willem Van Leen * representing fruit including plums and grapes surrounded by roses and leaves of vines, all placed on a stone entablature following the antique decor of the background.
A great painter of flowers, the painter has put drops of water on the leaves and fruits which reinforces the freshness of the subject.
