Boeket met pioenrozen, een tulp en een brodiaea c. 1670

"Boeket met pioenrozen, een tulp en een brodiaea" is a detailed black and white engraving by Jacques (I) Bailly, dating back to c. 1670. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases a delicate bouquet of flowers, including peonies, a tulip, and a brodiaea, rendered with meticulous detail. The intricate lines and shading create a lifelike representation of the floral arrangement, highlighting the beauty and fragility of nature. This piece is a prime example of 17th-century Dutch still life artistry, a genre that often explored the themes of transience and mortality through the depiction of flowers.
