ELBERTUS DIDERIK WALLER (fl. MID-18th CENTURY) A TROMPE L'OEIL, BEING A SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY PRESENT FROM THE ARTIST TO HIS WIFE MARIAsigned & dated l.m. Diderik Waller fecit 1755 pen & ink with oil on paper 35.0 x 24.0 cm / 13 3/4 x 9 1/2 inElbertus Diderik Waller was born into prosperous Dutch family in Amsterdam. Very little of his life is known, and only one previous work by him (another trompe l~oeil) is known to have come to auction in recent years (Bubb Kuyper, Haarlem, Fine Arts..., 21-24.11.2017, Lot 5151). We know from public records that Waller married a Maria Dylius in 1730, which explains the initials to the middle of this work: EW [Elbertus Waller] : MD [Maria Dylius]. These, together with the number XXV confirm, along with the date, its personal meaning.
