Description
At first sight this bouquet seems to have been painted from life. However, it is composed of plants that flower in different parts of the year. The bouquet is lit from different angles, so that more depth is created. The colors are bright and light. Until 1982 the date was read as 1601 or 1604. In 1982 Segal was the first to read it as 1603.
