A glass vase of flowers is a 1692 oil by Abraham van Calraet, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
In this painting, a glass vase is filled with a variety of flowers, including tulips, roses, and others. The flowers are depicted in different colors, such as white, pink, and red, and are arranged in a loose, organic way. The vase itself is clear and appears to be made of glass. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the colors and textures of the flowers. The overall effect is one of elegance and simplicity, with the flowers being the main focus of the painting.
