My replica of Van Der Ast's Zomerschoon tulip painting (1625). The wonderful original painting is at the @mauritshuis_museum. Painted using the pigments he would have used, and @kingswoodframes produced a spectacular replica of the Mauritshuis frame using their replica of a 17thC ripple machine. 1/3
