About the piece

Painted in 1612 by Jacob de Gheyn II, this exquisite oil on copper work captures a lush assortment of flowers including variegated tulips, roses, and irises. Set within a shadowed stone niche, the composition is accented with delicate life—a butterfly, caterpillar, and moths—rendered with scientific precision and luminous color.
