Vase with Flowers, Pieter Mortier (I) (possibly), after Jean Baptiste Monnoyer, 1671 - 1711
The work of the renowned French still-life painter and etcher Jean Baptiste Monnoyer was in such demand that it was frequently imitated. An example of this is this monumental print that was published in Amsterdam as part of a series of thirteen sheets. At the time they found ready buyers, and yet hardly any impressions have come down to us.
