About the work
From around 1720, an international collection was not complete if it did not include a still life by Jan van Huysum. Sir Robert Walpole even owned four flower paintings by the master. This print was made after one of them. Van Huysum brought the art of floral still life painting to new heights, replacing the usual dark background with a park landscape, so that the flowers seem to be set on a ledge out of doors.
