CORTE, Gabriel de la
(b. 1648, Madrid, d. 1694, Madrid)

Flowers in a Basket

1680s
Oil on canvas, 60 x 80 cm
Private collection

The composition of this work is almost certainly inspired by the great paintings of Juan de Arellano, although the cascading flowers on either side of the wicker basket bears the distinctive hallmark of De la Corte.
