Glazen vaas met bloemen c. 17th century

"Glazen vaas met bloemen," an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk, depicts a detailed arrangement of flowers in a vase. Created in the 17th century, the work showcases Schenk's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the delicate beauty of nature. The composition features various types of flowers, including roses, carnations, and other blooms, all rendered with great precision and a sense of realism. The use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, further enhancing the depth and texture of the flowers. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of Dutch still-life art from the 17th century.
