Attributed to Franz Werner Tamm

Franz Werner Tamm was born in Hamburg in 1658 and spent about ten years in Rome from 1685. There he joined the Bentvueghels, the fellowship of Dutch and Flemish painters in the city, whose members took nicknames, and his was Dapper, Dutch for brave. In 1695 Emperor Leopold I called him to Vienna as a court painter. He became the city's leading still-life specialist, joining Roman flower painting to Dutch precision, and stayed in Vienna until his death in 1724, apart from a spell working in Passau in 1702.

Canvases under this name include two still lifes from around 1720, one built around a crane, the other around a chamois, the Alpine goat-antelope. They are catalogued as attributed to Tamm, meaning the hand is probably his but not documented. The Belvedere holds nine still lifes connected with him, painted between about 1706 and the early 1720s.
