Molly Harrington on Rachel Ruysch's Still life of carnations, hibiscus, morning glories

Widely regarded as one of the most successful still-life artists of the Dutch Golden Age, Rachel Ruysch was the first female Netherlandish artist to win international recognition. One of her finest works will be part of the January Master Paintings & Sculpture Part I marquee sale, Still life of carnations, hibiscus, morning glories. This meticulously rendered still life may appear simple, but it bursts out of the frame with a great deal of life.
