Lot Essay

The attribution to Claesz. is based on comparison with a group of drawings of the same size and technique formerly with Noortman which Dr. Sam Segal compared to a drawing signed 'A.C.' and dated 1641 in an album in the Lindley Library, London (S. Segal, Tulips by Anthony Claesz., Maastricht, 1987, fig. 1).
