Boeket bloemen in de hals van een groene vaas c. 1763 - 1825

Willem van Leen's "Boeket bloemen in de hals van een groene vaas" (c. 1763 - 1825) is a delicate watercolor painting depicting a vibrant bouquet of flowers arranged in a green vase. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the soft hues and subtle shading that give life to the various blooms, including a yellow daisy, a white hydrangea, a purple ranunculus, a blue cornflower, and a bright pink rose. The leaves are meticulously rendered, contributing to the overall sense of naturalism and elegance. This work exemplifies van Leen's mastery of botanical illustration and his keen observation of the beauty found in nature.
