Featured Another cool still life, oil on board

hi folks

another still life i found today, liking it more every time i look at it, i think better than the last one i found, but maybe not so old ?

20 inches by 16 inches

oil on board, unframed

signed but cant make it out

reckon its gonna look pretty good framed

any thoughts, insights or comments appreciated

 

Nice, charlie. Could be inspired by 17th century Dutch paintings, or even a copy of another painting.
I always love bellarmine jugs.

 

It’s a copy of a painting by Georg Flegel, hope I’ve spelled that correctly. As I see AJ has already suggested.

Nice find houseful, that was impressively quick !!

 

I thought I’d seen it before and plugged in, fish, bottle, bread, beetle still life and bingo!

 

Not a patch on the original !!

Dunno if it helps you at all, but.............lightened, and inversed......to ME....it sort of looks like "M Ruch" or some such.....

 

lovely. with a Schnaps jug probably from Cologne still fabricated into the 20th c. in Frechen and used by Auer und Söhne a.o.. a little snack with smoked herring, spring onions and real bread.

 

Cool, thanks aquitaine, so much clearer

The web seems chock a blocked with modern repros of the original artists works, hard to gauge how old mine is

It's missing parts like the spring onion under the knife, so not identical like the really modern ones
