Jan Philips van Thielen

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a bouquet of flowers in a glass vase on a wooden surface. The bouquet contains a pink-and-white striped tulip, large pink and white roses, green leaves, and smaller white and blue bell-shaped flowers. A dragonfly is perched on a tall stem on the top right of the painting, and a colorful butterfly or moth is in the lower left corner, resting on a leaf. The wall behind the bouquet is dark gray.
