Samuel van Hoogstraten 1627 – 1678
The realism of this type of painting is just stunning. Boy that marbled notebook looks familiar.
Detail: marbled paper, scissors, chain, cameo, comb, paper, quill, pen knife, marbled notebook, book, folding knife, medal, letter, sealing wax, spectacles, leather thong.
That is simply amazing, and what a great example of the Dutch masters’ love of God’s created world.
Notice the wire-rimmed glasses in the upper right hand corner! Interesting!
The Artist did a great job on this I cant tell if a painting or pic obviously a painting but looks like a pic to me.
