Bloem 1887 - 1924

"Bloem" (Flower), a delicate drawing by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, showcases a single, large flower with a white center surrounded by layers of pale pink petals, framed in a black square. The detailed lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and texture. Created between 1887 and 1924, this piece exemplifies de Graag's interest in botanical subjects, often exploring the intricacies of nature through her art. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, "Bloem" is a testament to de Graag's talent and her ability to capture the beauty of the natural world in a minimalist yet expressive manner.
