Bloem 1710 - 1772

"Bloem" is a delicate pencil drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, a Dutch artist known for his botanical illustrations. The artwork showcases two tulips, their petals rendered with meticulous detail. Van Reysschoot's keen observation of nature is evident in the graceful curves of the stems and the subtle shading that gives the flowers a sense of depth and volume. This study of tulips is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the beauty and fragility of the natural world.
