Flower Still-Life
by OOSTERWIJK, Maria van, Oil on canvas, 90 x 81 cm
This floral still-life depicts yellow and white lilies, an iris, a sunflower, a narcissus, carnations and other flowers in a terracotta vase, placed on a ledge with a lemon, a lime and a butterfly. Through the apparently random positioning of the flowers, the painter creates a convincing sense of depth and perspective to the arrangement.
