About the piece

Painted in 1614 by the Dutch master Ambrosius Bosschaert, this oil on copper work is a quintessential example of early 17th-century floral still life. The composition features a rich variety of blooms—including prized striped tulips, roses, and lilies—rendered with scientific precision and luminous color against a dramatic dark backdrop, further enlivened by the inclusion of a dragonfly and butterflies.
