Lizard before a fence

Material, technology: oil, wood

Size: 20 x 26 cm

Description: The theme - showing raptiles as still-lives - can be traced to Dutch Otto Marseus van Schrieck. Both the size and the quality make it doubtful that they were intended to delight or decorate. Works like this were more like curiosities, attached to the fashion of studying and collecting rare plants, animals, shells.
