About the piece

Painted in 1663 by Helena Roovers, this exquisite oil composition captures the intricate beauty of a floral arrangement in a glass rummer. The work showcases the artist's technical skill in rendering diverse textures—from the velvet-like petals of the variegated tulips to the translucent wings of a dragonfly—set against a deep, moody backdrop characteristic of the 17th-century European tradition.
