About the piece
Painted in 1787 by Cornelis van Spaendonck, this oil on panel exemplifies the late 18th-century European tradition of botanical accuracy and lush composition. The work features a vibrant arrangement of roses, lilacs, and nasturtiums alongside a carefully rendered bird's nest, set against a dramatic, dark background that emphasizes the luminosity of the petals.
