C. Schoon's "Bloemvaas onder portiek gewijd aan Lodewijk Napoleon" is a three-dimensional artwork composed of pressed flowers, paper, and other materials. It depicts a vase of flowers within a miniature classical portico dedicated to Louis Napoleon, King of Holland from 1806-1810. The piece, created circa 1806-1810, demonstrates the 19th-century Dutch fascination with botanical detail and the Neoclassical style. The intricate design and the use of dried flowers create a delicate and nostalgic effect, highlighting the ephemeral beauty of nature.
