Witte aronskelk 1665 - 1669

Elias van den Broeck's "Witte aronskelk" is a delicate 17th-century botanical drawing, executed in watercolor. The artist captures the elegant form of the white arum lily, highlighting the intricate details of its blossom and leaves with precise strokes. The use of subtle shading and realistic textures creates a lifelike quality that reflects the beauty and fragility of nature. This drawing is a testament to the precision and artistry of Dutch botanical illustration during the Golden Age.
