"Boeket met roos, narcis en winde" is a delicate botanical illustration by Auguste Piquet de Brienne, created between 1817 and 1831. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a single rose, its petals meticulously rendered in graphite. The composition features delicate details of the rose's stem, leaves, and buds, demonstrating Brienne's keen observation of nature. The work exemplifies the botanical illustration genre, popular in the 19th century, and reflects a growing appreciation for the scientific study of flora.
