This early Flemish trompe l'oeil is a rare signed example of the work of Jean-Francois de le Motte. His oeuvre consists of only around a dozen paintings. In our picture we see several letters written in French, an almanac and a wax seal affixed to a wooden board. A nail at the top of the composition seemingly hammered into the wood is a delightful addition to the illusion of three-dimensionality.
