Dutch School, 18th century Butterfly studies with annotations

watercolour and bodycolour, 16.4 x 11.9cm each; mount 63.5 x 48cm; unframed, These minutely observed studies of butterflies and moths bear a traditional attribution to an untraced artist called 'P Snyders' (fl. circa 1780). It is possible this Snyders was a relation of the celebrated Flemish still-life painter Pieter Snyers (1681-1752). Chiefly known for his works in oils, which are celebrated for their faithful rendering of flowers, vegetables and animals, Syners has no reliably identified works on paper recorded in the RKD database, nor are any known by 'P Snyders'. Condition Report, Condition Report, Stuck down to the mount by the top edges; rubbing marks to the margins, with time staining and discolouration to the sheet and surface. The main image remains undisturbed and retains a relatively fresh appearance. Request A Condition Report, Request A Condition Report
