About the piece

Painted in 1741, this exquisite floral study by Rachel Ruysch showcases the artist's renowned precision and botanical accuracy. A vibrant pink rose anchors a bouquet that includes chamomile and forget-me-nots, while a long-horned beetle and a honeybee add a touch of naturalistic drama to the quiet, stone-lit scene typical of late Dutch Golden Age mastery.
