MANNER OF VAN HUYSUM Jacob van Huysum was born in Amsterdam c.1687 and was an 18th Century botanical painter from the Northern Netherlands. Both his father Justus van Huysum (1659 -1716), and his brother Jan van Huysum (1682–1749), were celebrated flower painters. His manner of painting was very like that of his brother. His approach to botanical illustration, while preserving botanical accuracy, captured a more painterly aspect of his subject.
This painting is very close to the work of Van Huysum and it does have an old signature. However we feel in consultation with other specialists that this work is not by Jacob van Huysum, but a contemporary follower.
