Still Life with Flowers and a Watch

This elaborate Dutch Golden Age still life by Abraham Mignon features a rich bouquet of poppies, tulips, irises, and roses resting in an ornate stone vase. Fine insects, a crawling snail, and an open pocket watch lie detailed upon the ledge below. Rendered with fine oil glazed brushwork, the intense dark backdrop emphasizes the vivid colors and textures of each bloom. An ideal focal piece for a formal dining room or study.
