The back of the piece of paper - in vivo, we can say hand all about the author says. It is a pity that people do not bother to sign the front , but it this case , it seems, in principle, was not given .

Provenance good ... grandfather ... Germany ... attic ... inheritance ...

But , seriously , the thing is quite similar to the quality and the fact that for granted a little more different things with " tsaritsinskoy " exhibition.
Older rear side panels play a role to strengthen the cracked tiling above board.
Neither one expert is not yet showing.

Already answered one private message.

But his life with a crab, from which, as I understand it, and to make a submission copy:

But his " Still Life with Romer, crab and peeled lemon ", based on which, as I understand it, and made
picture [/URL]:

He has these " lemons" varying degrees of similarity - a lot.
I hope that is not a direct copy , and for the 17th century ready vouch .
And the artist is so cheap, that any such notions as " circle- style -school" my price is quite adequate.
However, as already written , even at this price, not going to stay strong ...

Yes, and lemons, and these Roman glasses.

But such a "breakfast" with crab seems to be one.

No, even a simple Google pretty much " crabs " issues .
That does not include other " shellfish "!
There is even a cracked board. as I have - in a hurry , you see, Peter, was in demand , there was no time like the board should be prepared !

Sorry if posted a similar picture - from crabs already dazzled the eyes of ... 'd better 'll go to the supermarket on the contrary!
This is a different Peter - fresh-caught " Seafood " and we are the humble people - phalanx frozen ...

Excellent!
With crabs Peter Claes you met, now with " a simple google " check out the Dutch technology training doskok in XVII century. :)>

First, it is interesting, and secondly, to further this knowledge will save against hasty conclusions:
and, I think, you will not write this:
Read, read ... ;)>
You will learn, for example, to have survived the rule making boards negotiate their manufacturing and even government regulation.
Learn that in Flanders in the XVII century, the production of boards already composes monopoly shops, guilds, that painters were forbidden to use the boards, made by individuals, that the production of boards used mainly oak and incorporates the many conditions of harvesting and processing - the age of the tree, the choice of the barrel, the specific sawing the trunk, drying, preservation and stabilization methods of processing tools (machining the back of the Dutch boards made with an adze, scraper and a plane, the boards were certain tolsheny, chamfer on the back side at the edges of the board are colored dark brown).
Incidentally, in the XVII century, the size and format of the board is setting standards that have been associated with the name of the coin - the board in SPE Guilder, board two guilders, and even non-standard board can be called " long guilder ".
And you'll learn about tolschinu Dutch boards, this, I think, here is the main thing.
