## Commentary

There are only about fifteen known still-life paintings by Boilly. Their general compositions reveal Boilly&#39;s emulation of Dutch 17th century still-life masters, from Ambrosius Bosschaert and his followers, to the works of artists such as Willem van Aelst and Rachel Ruysch. This painting depicts a still-life of flowers in a glass vase, two birds, a branch of blossoms and an insect all on a table. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 2 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/schubert/schubert\_d431\_blumen.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Franz Schubert: Blumenlied \(Flower Song\) D 431&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
