The composition is rich with detail: overflowing baskets of roses, tulips, and carnations, ripe pears and other fruit, and a striking urn overflowing with blooms. The parrot adds a touch of the exotic, recalling the fascination with rare birds in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Executed in the Baroque tradition, the painting captures both abundance and vanitas, celebrating the beauty of nature while suggesting the fleeting nature of life. The surface shows an even craquelure consistent with age and some scattered paint losses (see photos), which enhance the character of the piece without compromising its impact. Presented in a period-style giltwood frame with beaded border.

At over 55 inches wide in its frame, this painting is a true statement piece, ideal for a grand entryway, dining room, or library wall. See less
