Still Life with Flowers

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

A magnificent bouquet of tulips, roses, iris, columbine and gillyflowers is set in a ribbed glass vase. The artist
first made a detailed drawing on the prepared panel before beginning to paint. In the intervening centuries,
some of the pigments, primarily the lighter colours, have become transparent, allowing the underdrawing
to show through.
