Twee tulpen met twee libellen 1645

Jacob Marrel's 1645 watercolor painting, *Twee tulpen met twee libellen* (Two tulips with two dragonflies), features two vibrantly colored tulips with detailed, almost photographic realism. The tulip on the left is identified as "La Royal allegée de Perigots," while the right tulip is named "Fedoerwillijk Trijphia Durles." This intricate and detailed painting reflects the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with botanical illustration and the beauty of nature. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing the artistry of Marrel and the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands.
