About the piece

This masterful 1733 gouache by Jan van Huysum captures the delicate beauty of a spring bouquet. Set within a woven basket on a stone ledge, the arrangement includes striped tulips, lush roses, and deep blue irises, while a bird's nest with speckled eggs adds a charming naturalistic detail typical of Dutch still life traditions.
