Thistle with Insects

Johann Christoph Dietzsch · c. 1755 · gouache on black prepared vellum ·  Accession ID  2007.88.2

An interior window framed by brown curtains shows a view into a landscape with grass, shrubs, trees, and a dirt path beneath a blue sky with white clouds in this vertical painting. Upon closer inspection, the three legs of a wooden easel, the clip holding a canvas at the top, and a white, stapled edge draws our attention to the fact that a painted canvas rests directly in front of the window.
