About this work
A multitude of blossoms make up this lavish bouquet. A blueish-white tulip, carnation and rose spill down over the rim of the glass vase. Born in Amsterdam, Van der Mijn came from an itinerant family of painters that settled in London when she was in her teens. Her typical Dutch flower still lifes were in great demand in that city, where she spent the rest of her life.
