Blumenstillleben in Glasvase mit Libelle auf Tisch is a 1708 oil by Catarina Ykens, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a vase filled with flowers and leaves on a wooden table. The vase is clear and has two handles on either side. The flowers are red, white, and pink, and the leaves are green. There are also some red berries in the vase. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the flowers and vase stand out. The flowers are arranged in a way that makes them look like they are floating in the vase. The leaves are also arranged in a way that makes them look like they are moving. The overall effect of the painting is one of beauty and elegance. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of Catarina Ykens (I).
Catarina or Catharina Ykens, or Catarina Ykens (II) (1659–1737 or later), was a Flemish painter. The few surviving paintings attributed to her are still lifes but she is also believed to have painted history paintings with biblical themes.
