Hans Simon Holtzbecker's "Trollius europaeus (europæisk engblomme); Ranunculus asiaticus (have-ranunkel)" is a watercolor botanical illustration depicting three flowers: European globeflower, Persian buttercup, and a white flower, likely a garden anemone. Executed between 1635-1664, the artwork exhibits the meticulous detail and scientific precision characteristic of 17th-century botanical illustration. The delicate brushstrokes and realistic portrayal of the flowers capture the beauty and diversity of nature, appealing to both botanists and art enthusiasts. The work is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
