Floral Still Life
Nicolaes de Bruyn (mentioned on object), c. 1605
De Bruyn had a preference for making sizeable engravings. His floral still life after a painting by Jacob Savery is one the largest ever printed. This notwithstanding, the rendering of the flowers is refined and delicately detailed. The birds filling the empty corners were a clever addition devised by the engraver.
