Jan van Huysum, (artist), Dutch, 1682 - 1749, Flowers in an Urn, c. 1720/1722, oil on panel, overall: x 60 cm (31 7/16 x 23 5/8 in.), framed: x x cm (39 1/4 x 31 3/4 x 3 1/4 in.), Against a pale greenish-ocher background, the subtle colors and organic rhythms of Jan van Huysum’s exuberant flower arrangement in an urn create an elegant whole, without focusing unduly upon any individual blossom. The bouquet is in a terra-cotta vase decorated with playful cupids, and near it are three pale blue eggs in a bird’s nest, which teeters on the edge of the marble tabletop
