## Commentary

Bouquet in an Attic Bell Crater c. 1840 Oil on panel, 58 x 46 cm Nationalgalerie, Berlin The Vienna-based painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was a master of modest pleasures, a laureate of the status quo. But even he can surprise with the contrast between his skills for both hermetic still-life and plein air narrative. The first may be witnessed in his glittering Bouquet in an Attic Bell Crater. Seen against a startlingly neutral, dark background, the flowers are surrounded by early Victorian silver, ribbon, and jewelry.
