Flowers 1737 - 1795

"Flowers" is a still life painting by Margareta Haverman, a Swedish artist known for her flower paintings. Created between 1737 and 1795, the artwork depicts a vibrant bouquet of flowers with delicate detail. The composition is characterized by a dark background that emphasizes the colorful blooms, creating a sense of depth and realism. The presence of insects, like the butterfly perched on the rose, adds a touch of life and movement to the otherwise static arrangement, highlighting the transience of beauty. This piece is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
