Lot 172: DUTCH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY A RED AND WHITE TULIP.

Watercolour. 245 by 98 mm. This and the following lot, and probably also lots 196 and 197, are apparently by the same hand as the group of fifty-six tulip studies exhibited at Noortman B.V., Maastricht, in 1987; those drawings were attributed by Dr. Sam Segal to Anthony Claesz. (circa 1607/8-1649) (see Segal, Tulips by Anthony Claesz., Maastricht 1987).
