The present lot has been lost from sight since the Simon sale in 1932. As observed by Koreny, , p. 242, followed by Segal, , p. 126, the composition derives from an oil study by Tom Ring, dated 1562, in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna (Cod.Min. 42, fol. 169; Koreny, p. 243, fig. 88.4; Segal, p. 121, fig. 20). Koreny believed that the painting was an authentic work by Ludger tom Ring and "die Krönung seiner Beschäftigung mit diesem Motiv". Segal, , p. 126, pointed out that the appearance of the butterfly would perhaps be an argument for a later date of execution. Since then dendrochronological analysis of the panel by Dr. P. Klein has shown that the support is from an oak tree from the Baltic, felled after 1648. Thus an attribution to Ludger tom Ring has to be ruled out. The report by Dr. Klein is available to the buyer. The present lot is to be compared with three other paintings of flowers which are all based on the oil study in Vienna (with Galerie Hans Bamman, Düsseldorf, 1936 - Koreny, , pp. 242/3, fig. 88.5 and Segal, , p. 124, fig. 23; with Galerie Sankt Lucas, Vienna, 1977/8 - Koreny, p. 242, note 8 and Segal, p. 125, fig. 24; with Kunsthandel Feilchenfeldt, Zürich, 1981 - Segal, II, p. 402, no. 82, with ill.)
This group of flower still lifes confirms the importance of the oil study in Vienna, which is generally believed to be the first extant independent flower still life in Western European painting; this genre came to full fruitition after 1600 in the work of Ambrosius Bosschaert I and Jan Brueghel I. Circa 1570-1600, Rudolph II, in his desire to promote a Dürer Renaissance, invited artists like Hans Hoffmann and Georg Hoefnagel to his court in Prague and asked them to work on studies of nature. The Tom Ring study of 1562 is one of 13 studies by the artist, and was inserted in a volume containing 130 studies of plants, animals and flowers, by various artists.
