Still life painting of a dense bouquet of colorful flowers in a dark vase, with shells and a lizard on a stone ledge.

Stilleven met bloemen

A dense bouquet of irises, tulips, roses, carnations and lilies rises from a dark, ribbed vase on a pale stone ledge. Shells, a lizard and a small caterpillar lie at the base against a plain brown background, with a dragonfly hovering at upper left.

Español: Naturaleza muerta con flores en un jarrón

Un denso ramo de lirios, tulipanes, rosas, claveles y azucenas se eleva desde un jarrón oscuro acanalado sobre un pálido borde de piedra. Conchas, un lagarto y una pequeña oruga yacen en la base contra un fondo pardo liso, con una libélula en la esquina superior izquierda.

Um denso buquê de íris, tulipas, rosas, cravos e lírios sobe de um vaso escuro com sulcos, apoiado em uma pálida borda de pedra. Conchas, um lagarto e uma pequena lagarta ficam na base, contra um fundo marrom liso, com uma libélula no canto superior esquerdo.
