Bloemenruiker van geknipt papier. before 1881

Hendrik van Irkoven's "Bloemenruiker van geknipt papier." is a unique still life created before 1881. The artwork depicts a bouquet of flowers made entirely from cut paper, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The delicate paper petals and leaves are arranged in a lifelike manner, capturing the beauty and fragility of nature. The bouquet is displayed on a wooden base, adorned with a gold-painted frame, adding an element of elegance and sophistication. Van Irkoven's work stands as a testament to the expressive power of paper as a medium, challenging the traditional boundaries of still life painting.
