Still-Life of Flowers

The painting shows a still-life of tulips, carnations, a rose and other flowers in a glass beaker resting on a wooden ledge.

In his flower pieces, Hulsdonck favours a mixture of a restricted number of blooms with tulips predominating. Most of them are set against a dark background, and he favoured simple clear glass beakers with prunts in the lower register only, so that the stems of each flower can be followed through to the base.
