Bloemguirlande om een knipsel van een grafmonument c. 1670 - 1687

This watercolor painting by Gesina ter Borch, a Dutch artist known for her exquisite botanical studies, depicts a wreath of flowers encircling a small vignette. The vignette itself is a black-and-white scene with a bird perched atop a building inscribed with text. The wreath is a testament to the artist's keen observation of nature, showcasing a variety of flowers and leaves in delicate detail. Created in the late 17th century, this artwork exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with botanical studies and the beauty of the natural world. The painting, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to ter Borch's artistic talent and enduring influence.
