ANDREA URBANI | A trompe l'œil with flowers, a drawing, scissors, a watch, and plates, a jug and a letter on a wooden shelf

Private collection, Italy.

Although most commonly known for his vedute and palatial decorative schemes, the discovery of the present work – the only signed still life by the artist – may represent a keystone by which to reattribute other still life paintings, which have previously given to other artists, to Urbani.
