Twee tulpen met sprinkhaan 1637

"Twee tulpen met sprinkhaan" (Two Tulips with a Grasshopper) is a watercolor painting by Jacob Marrel dating back to 1637. The painting showcases the meticulous detail and delicate beauty of Marrel's work, characteristic of Dutch Golden Age flower paintings. The two tulips, "Late Blain Beach" and "Vauch Blaenbyglo Cartila", are rendered with a striking realism, their vibrant colors and intricate patterns brought to life. The inclusion of the grasshopper adds a natural element to the composition and highlights the artist's keen observation of the natural world. The painting is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
