"Kievitsbloemen" is a black and white woodcut by Dutch artist Jo van Oosten Slingeland created between 1887 and 1945. The detailed, almost photographic, depiction of the fritillary flowers (known as "Kievitsbloemen" in Dutch) showcases Slingeland's talent for capturing natural beauty with precise lines and shading. The work is a prime example of the artist's dedication to botanical illustration and the power of simple yet impactful imagery.
