Figures-With-Fruit-and-GameAs I mentioned on Monday I finally got around to seeing the Seattle Art Museum’s Rembrandt Show last Sunday. Regretably I got their just under an hour before closing so all I had time for was a rushed circuit and this sketch.

So anyway this is “Figures with Fruit and Game” CA 1635 by Franz Snyders 1579-1657 A friend of Rubens they often collaborated. Snyders specialty was backgrounds and still lives and according to the caption on the painting often provided these details for Rubens’ paintings.
