Still Life with Flowers 1762

"Still Life with Flowers" is a 1762 oil-on-canvas painting by Dutch artist Cornelia van der Mijn, known for her still life flower paintings. The painting depicts a variety of flowers, including tulips, irises, roses, and carnations, arranged in a vase and spilling over the edge onto a ledge. Van der Mijn's mastery of detail is evident in the delicate brushstrokes that capture the textures and colors of each blossom, while the overall composition evokes a sense of both abundance and fleeting beauty, characteristic of still life paintings of this period.
