Pioenrozen 1630 - 1718

"Pioenrozen" is an anonymous 17th-century engraving depicting a botanical study of peonies. The intricate detail of the petals and leaves, rendered in shades of grey, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. This small-scale print, likely intended for a private collection, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the beauty of nature during the Dutch Golden Age. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
