Description
A Bouquet, Henriette Geertruida Knip, c. 1820
The taste for overcrowded flower and fruit still lifes became outmoded at the end of the 18th century. Henriette Geertruida Knip responded to this change, painting watercolours like this one with only a few kinds of blossoms and, moreover, omitting the vase. Her elegant flower pieces were extremely popular. One of her watercolours even won a silver medal in Paris in 1819. This old painting is from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The painting is in the Public Domain and is free to use with the permission of the museum
