Twee lentebloeiende krokussen 1617

"Twee lentebloeiende krokussen" (Two Spring-Blooming Crocuses) is an etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) (1597-1670) from 1617. The artwork depicts two different types of crocuses, one with larger purple flowers and another with smaller pale-blue blooms. The detailed engraving, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the beauty of these spring flowers with delicate precision. The small size of the etching, measuring 138mm by 212mm, makes it a charming and intimate piece of art.
