Attributed to Anthony Claesz. the Younger, Dutch 1616-1652- Two studies of tulips: Study of a variegated blue and white tulip; and Study of a variegated purple and white tulip; each watercolour on laid paper, the first 23.2 x 8.4 cm., the second 23.9 x 9.1 cm., two (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Claesz's preoccupation with tulips echoes the wave of tulipmania in the Netherlands in the mid-1600s, which caused soaring prices for the bulbs, and in turn one of the most significant market crashes in history. The present study depicts one of the rarer and, therefore, more valuable varieties of tulip, with its variegated, highly striped petals which were especially sought after.
