Studieblad met takken en stillevens 1605 - 1678

This is a preliminary drawing or *studieblad* by the Flemish painter Paul de Vos, dating back to the 17th century. The artist was known for his hunting scenes and still lifes. The drawing features quick, gestural lines, suggesting that this is a preparatory sketch for a larger painting. It showcases De Vos's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in a few strokes. While the exact subject matter of the final painting is unknown, the study suggests that it may have featured both still life elements and naturalistic scenes with birds or other animals.
