Leonard Johannes de Gijselaar - Bloemen stilleven

A watercolor by Leonard Johannes de Gijselaar (1827-1890). The work is painted in great detail using various techniques. The result is a powerful still life with colorful flowers in a classic vase on a table/façade.
Rare work in the oeuvre of De Gijselaar, best known for his landscapes.
Previously auctioned, probably in the 1930s, based on the auction sticker and pasted description of the work in the auction catalogue, on the back of the original baroque gold frame with glass, which means that the work is in very good condition.
Little is known about the life and work of Leonard Johannes de Gijselaar. He lived in Amsterdam, was a shipowner by profession and painted romantic landscapes and sea and river views with ships.
