Iris sibirica (sibirisk iris) is a 1650 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows two iris flowers standing on tall green stems. One flower is deep purple with yellow centers, and the other is pale cream with soft pink veins. Both have long, slightly drooping petals and a few small leaves growing from the base. The artist focused on the flowers’ delicate details, like the tiny hairs on the stems. The colors are soft but bright, with careful shading to make the petals look real. If you like this style, check out the technique: watercolor, glazing.
