## Commentary

Still-Life of Flowers with a Fritillary in a Stone Niche c. 1613 Oil on panel, 110 x 79 cm Private collection There is a variant of this still-life in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. The two paintings were probably painted as pendants, on specially prepared panels of the same size. The works probably were hung or mounted so that the stone niches depicted by Vosmaer resembled actual architectural elements. At some later date the New York panel was cut by as much as 25 cm at the top, mutilating the fritillary.
