Forest floor still life with flowers, animals and insects is a 1674 oil by Abraham Mignon, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting shows a forest floor with flowers, animals, and insects. In the center, a tree trunk is covered in leaves and flowers. A squirrel peeks out from behind the trunk, and a bird perches on a branch above. The forest floor is littered with mushrooms, snails, and other small creatures. The painting is full of life and color, with a sense of movement and energy. The artist has used a range of techniques to create texture and depth, from the rough bark of the tree to the soft petals of the flowers.
