Carnations, lillies, nigellas and other flowers in a decorative terracotta vase on a stone ledge,
signed lower left: Brughel Fe...,
oil on canvas, 98.4 x 74.3 cm, framed
Provenance:
sale, Georges V, Paris, 15 December 1993, lot 16;
with Robert Noortman, Maastricht/London (1994);
with Salomon Lilian, Amsterdam (1995);
The Estate of Rose Ann Comstock (1930–2017), Detroit, USA;

where acquired by the present owner
We are grateful to Fred Meijer for confirming the attribution of the present painting. A written certificate (March 2019) is available.
The present work probably dates from Brueghel’s period in Rome, circa 1660–1670. The painting is clearly inspired by the work of the Roman flower painter Mario Nuzzi. Individual flower paintings by Brueghel are rare certainly from before his move from Rome to Naples in 1671. A flower cartouche still life (private collection) that is almost exactly the same size as the present painting probably also stems from Brueghel’s time in Rome.
