Knew that it was early because of the background. Searched Still Life, flowers with sea shells. Saw
a painting by Bosschaet and knew stylistically he had
painted this painting.

Medium Oil Painting on copper
Painted 1619-1620
My wild goose chases this week involved searching botanical flowers insects shells oil painting etc. and finding Balthasar van der Ast
We found it via a very red herring, Mr C thought he detected the beginnings of New York and an island in the background (like one of your earlier ones) so added 19C to painting flowers vase insects images and found an image that looked like it might have been painted by the same artist, went to the page stilllifequickheart first thing that came up on website was Ambrosius Bosschaert so did a search for his work and found it at
1st-art-gallery.com where it is available as a reproduction.
I rounded up the other info on medium and support from wiki

First I searched still life with butterfly, then tried painting of flowers in a vase with insects. I found Balthasar Van der Ast. Found out he trained with his brother in law, checked him out and found the painting! It took a while to find this including looking for pastiche paintings :)

The above information was gleaned from a mistaken Google search. I had search another 17-century Dutch still life painter and along with those paintings Bosschaert's still lifes were displayed.
Took a couple of passes with Google to hit the right terms. Found on Wikipedia commons.
