Flora is a 1650 oil by Michelangelo Cerquozzi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a woman standing in a landscape, wearing a white dress and a wreath of flowers on her head. She's holding a basket of flowers in front of her. The background is a bit blurry, but you can see some trees and other figures in the distance. The woman is the main focus of the painting, and she's depicted in a very naturalistic way. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the folds of her dress and the texture of the flowers.
