Español: Naturaleza muerta con flores, gato y trampa para ratones

Un denso ramo de tulipanes, rosas, lirios, peonías y otras flores se alza desde una urna de piedra oscura sobre un borde de piedra. A la izquierda, un gato gruñendo se agazapa junto a una trampa de madera para ratones, mientras insectos y espigas de trigo animan el fondo sombrío.
