Flowers in a Figured Vase is a 1670 oil by Jan Pieter Brueghel, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a large vase overflowing with colorful flowers. The flowers are arranged in a loose, organic way, with some spilling over the edges of the vase. The vase itself is decorated with figures and patterns. The flowers are painted in a variety of colors, including pink, white, yellow, and red. Some of the flowers are fully bloomed, while others are still buds. The overall effect is one of lushness and abundance. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look.
