Narcissus pseudonarcissus (påskelilje)
1650

From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows two flowers side by side on a plain background. One is bright yellow with six petals and long green leaves. The other is pale, almost white, with a rounded shape and thin petals. Both flowers have slender stems and look very detailed. The artist focused on small details like the texture of the petals and the veins in the leaves. These flowers were drawn to look almost real, with soft colors and careful shading. If you like this style, look up watercolor to see how artists use layers of paint to create depth.
