This anonymous 17th century print depicts a bouquet of three flowers: a lily, an iris and a tulip. The meticulous detail of the flowers and stems, rendered in black and white, is characteristic of botanical illustration of the period. This genre thrived during the Dutch Golden Age as a reflection of the era's fascination with nature and scientific exploration. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and showcases the artistry of the anonymous creator in capturing the delicate beauty of these common flowers.
