Boeket met uitgebloeide tulpen, een anemoon en immortellen c. 1670

Jacques Bailly's etching "Boeket met uitgebloeide tulpen, een anemoon en immortellen" (c. 1670) is a striking example of Dutch still-life art. The composition focuses on a bouquet of wilting flowers, including tulips, anemones, and immortelles, meticulously rendered in fine detail. The artist's skilled use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the delicate beauty and ephemeral nature of the subject. The arrangement's simple yet elegant form, tied with a ribbon, evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and mortality.
