## Commentary

This painting is the earliest extant flower painting by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder and thus amongst the very earliest examples of independent flower painting in the Netherlands. It shows a still-life of flowers, including irises, narcissi, lily-of-the-valley and carnations, in a tall glass vase set on a stone ledge.
