Bouquet of Flowers in an Earthenware Vase is a 1610 oil by Jan Brueghel, the elder, a Baroque work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a bouquet of flowers in a simple earthenware vase. The flowers are colorful and detailed, with petals that look soft. The artist also included some green leaves and stems to fill out the bouquet. The artist used a technique to create depth and dimension, which is similar to what you see when you look at work by Jan Brueghel, the elder.
