A Vanitas Still Life with Books and Leaflets, a Globe, a Princely Flag, a Musical Score, Musical Instruments, and an Hourglass on a Draped Table with a Silver Tazza, Coins, a Watch, and a Purse. Edwaert Collier (Dutch, c.1640-c.1707). Oil on panel.The princely flag and the very specific text on the sheet of paper lower centre may indicate that this picture was painted as a commemoration of one of the Princes of Orange. It may allude indirectly to the appointment of William III of Orange as a Stadtholder. -- source link
