Melchior d'Hondecoeter: Birds, Butterflies and a Frog among Plants and Fungi (1668).
This was the other painting that was observed in the National Gallery when I saw the painting by van Os. Further review to follow.

Whistlers studio painting
James Whistler, The Artists Studio (1865)
This has a romantic air to it, a social interaction takes place as opposed to solitude despite the artists body language demonstrating otherwise.
Francis Bacon Studio
Treated as an archeological dig and reconstruction, The Dublin City Gallery, Hugh Lane meticulously transfered Bacons studio including all objects and dust from his London studio. It has been treated as a study with notes about everything observed in the excavation.
Jackson Pollock: studio
Taken from the book Inside the Painters Studio by Joe Fig and Joseph Fioriglio.
What is the studio? A monastery to contemplation, action, time. historically they were the training grounds (school) for artists and their apprentices. It could be a home and/or an office to take alternative titles, atelier, workshop.

This photograph by Eleanor Antin, plays with constructed scenario's, settup historic fictions.
National Gallery Picture Library
Adriaen van Ostade, An Alchemist (1661)
The National Gallery has a very good service for using images (at a cost). Am about to order some images so that I can have the luxury of time to sit, study and consider what I am seeing. It will be interesting to think about the differences between looking at the original then an A3 replica or what would happen if you worked from the A3 version then went to see the painting.
Atelier Cezanne
This beautiful image of Cezanne's studio has a theatrical presence. The light is enchanting while the 360 panarama shot on the blog show's some ornate furnishings and a large display cabinet - will research further. What is the period of the ornate piece?

Jan van Os | Fruit and Flowers in a Terracotta Vase | NG6520 | The National Gallery, London
Artists own notes, July 2010.
Jan van Os, Flowers in a Terracotta Vase, 1777-8
This is a painting that I found in a quite corner of the National Gallery, I actually did a study of two paintings in this room (the other was Birds, Butterflies and a Frog among Plants and Fungi) I did not take note of the other paintings in the room in but will return to investigate this.
I have decided that the next collection of works will all stem from the idea's and visual cue's embedded within this van Os masterpiece. Further notes etc to follow.
