# Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RUYSCH, Rachel]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 51 x 41 cm ## Commentary This is an early work by the artist. These works owed much to Willem van Aelst for their composition and motifs. This painting features one of the flowers Van Aelst showed the most frequently, the pink cabbage rose, in the lower part of the bouquet, in bud, in full bloom, and beginning to wilt. Ruysch regularly populated her floral compositions with butterflies, caterpillars, and other tiny creations. ## Related artworks - [A Vase of Flowers]() - [Basket of Flowers]() - [Bouquet in a Glass Vase]() - [Flower Still-Life]() - [Flowers, Fruit, and Insects]() - [Flowers on a Tree Trunk]() - [Still-Life of Flowers \(detail\)]() - [Still-Life of Flowers]() - [Still-Life of Flowers]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life with Bouquet of Flowers and Plums]() - [Still-Life with Flowers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
