COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Nature in all its appetitive instinct slithers, licks, and chews, but discreetly around the white peaches' scented and immaculate delicacy. Ruysch was the daughter of a professor of anatomy and botany and the granddaughter of an architect. A pupil of Willem van Aelst, she was also intrigued by Otto Marseus van Schrieck's paintings with reptiles.
