Cousin to Anton Petter and son of a porcelain decorator, Franz Petter was a prominent Biedermeier stillleben artist who specialized in depicting flowers. This wonderful still-life of Petter’s does contain two yellow birds, but the detail and realism of both the animate and inanimate are breathtakingly executed by the artist with a precise and graceful technique.
