Verwelkte roos 1851 - 1924

"Verwelkte Roos" (Wilted Rose) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande. The painting depicts a close-up of a wilted rose with its petals unfurling. The delicate strokes of watercolor create a soft and ethereal effect, emphasizing the fragility and transient nature of beauty. The painting's subtle tones and gentle brushwork reflect the artist's interest in capturing the delicate beauty of nature. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a prime example of the artist's focus on capturing the beauty of nature in its delicate and fragile form.
