Flowers In A Stone Urn By Jean-baptist Monnoyer (1634 - 1699) - Workshop

A masterful still life with flowers in a stone urn with a landscape in the background was executed at the end of the 17th century in the style and quality of the famous Franco-Flemish flower painter Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (1636 Lille - 1699 London). The time of creation (late 17th century) was confirmed by the old Viennese expert master Mr. Dr. Wolf. For a comparison with famous works by Monnoyer see the links:
