Description
Attributed to Anthony Claesz. the Younger,
Dutch 1616-1652-
Four studies of tulips;
watercolours on laid paper, each 23.3 x 8.1 cm., four with shared mount (4)., (mounted / unframed).
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Claesz's preoccupation with tulips echoes the wave of 'tulipmania' in the Netherlands in the mid-1600s, which caused soaring prices for the bulbs, and in turn one of the most significant market crashes in history. The present studies depict some of the rarer and, therefore, more valuable varieties of tulip, with their variegated, highly striped petals which were especially sought after by contemporaries.
