About the piece

Painted in 1615 by Roelant Savery, this masterful oil on panel depicts a vibrant bouquet within a trompe-l'oeil stone niche. The composition is celebrated for its precise botanical detail and the inclusion of various small creatures—a lizard, beetles, and butterflies—which add a sense of dynamic nature and symbolic depth to the traditional still life genre.
