Oleander en brem 1677 - 1755

This watercolor study, "Oleander en brem," by Dutch artist Elias van Nijmegen, depicts two types of flowers. The Oleander, a pink flowering shrub, is depicted on the right side of the paper. The delicate, yellow blossoms of the Broom plant are rendered with equal detail on the left. Nijmegen was a renowned botanical artist, and his works are known for their meticulous attention to detail. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle color transitions bring life to the blooms. The overall composition of the painting is simple, highlighting the natural beauty of the plants.
