Tekst boven een bij elkaar gebonden roos en vergeet-me-nietje Possibly 1770 - 1816

This anonymous watercolor, likely dating back to the late 18th century, depicts a rosebud and forget-me-nots intertwined, framing a handwritten poem in German. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors of the flowers suggest a romantic sentiment, while the handwritten text further strengthens the emotional connection. This artwork, likely created for personal use, offers a glimpse into the private world of its creator and the language of floral symbolism during this period. The use of forget-me-nots and roses, both symbols of love and remembrance, reinforces the themes of enduring affection and cherished memories.
