We are grateful to Dr Fred Meijer for endorsing the attribution to Jan Baptist Bosschaert on the basis of a digital image. Dr Meijer notes that this is an entirely characteristic work by Bosschaert, other still lifes by whom include similar urns sculpted with bacchanalian scenes and putti, such as the signed painting sold in these Rooms, 19 April 1989, lot 56.
