Still life with a green strainer, Jan Bogaerts
Link is to sold listing on Simonis & Buunk gallery, which has a zoomable version of the image.
Early 20th century Dutch painter Jan Bogaerts has a marvelous touch for portraying the surface textures of his still life objects.
At times his deftly handled light and the tactile quality of his subjects create a contemplative feeling that puts me in mind of the great 18th century French still life and genre painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin.
