Drinking Bowl

Christiaen van Vianen, 1627

After Adam van Vianen’s death in 1627, the workshop was continued by his son Christiaen, who made this bowl in that year. The fools’ heads grinning at dogs have a new and striking expressiveness. The finish is less detailed than in Adam’s work. The piece aims at making a strong first impression.
