Hans Simon Holtzbecker's "Iris persica (persisk iris); Iris lutescens eller Iris pumila (?) (dværg-iris eller lav iris)" is a detailed botanical illustration of three different iris varieties, a popular subject for 17th-century Dutch artists. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Holtzbecker's mastery of watercolor, capturing the delicate nuances of color and form in each blossom. The white, blue, and purple hues of the irises stand out against the off-white background, creating a visually captivating composition.
