Twee hyacinten 1823

Maria Margaretha van Os was a Dutch painter known for her botanical watercolors. “Twee hyacinten,” created in 1823, showcases two hyacinths, one with a yellow and one with a blue bloom, against a plain white background. The delicate details and realistic depiction of the flowers are characteristic of van Os’s style. This watercolor painting, like many of her other botanical works, was likely intended for private collectors who appreciated the artistry and scientific accuracy of her depictions of nature.
