About the piece

Painted in 1875 by German artist Hans Thoma, this still life captures a textured bouquet of wildflowers and dried grasses against a deep, shadowed background. The inclusion of an open book in the foreground adds a scholarly, quiet dimension to the composition, characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
