About the piece

Painted in 1779 by Pieter Faes, this exquisite oil on panel work epitomizes the elegance of late 18th-century European still life. The composition features a dense, colorful bouquet of garden flowers—including variegated tulips, soft roses, and deep red peonies—nestled in a stone urn on a marble plinth, accompanied by a delicate bird's nest and butterfly that add a touch of naturalist charm.
