De Poolse Muts, c. 1620-30. Balthasar van der Ast (Dutch, 1593/94-1657). Brush and watercolor in red, green, and yellow with white heightening or grey wash on antique laid cream paper; sheet: 30.2 x 19.9 cm (11 7/8 x 7 13/16 in.). Still-life painting began in the Northern Netherlands (present-day Holland) around the turn of the 1600s. Still-life painter Balthasar van der Ast made this precise botanical study of a pink carnation as a reference that he could add later to a painting of an elaborate bouquet of flowers. Van der Ast inscribed the name The Polish Cap,” on the sheet to suggest that the flower came from foreign lands.
