This painting shows five bright yellow tulips with green stems and leaves, growing from dark soil. In front of them are smaller purple and white flowers. The background is plain, letting the colors stand out. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the petals, making them look soft and slightly transparent. The roots and soil are carefully drawn too, showing how the plants grow. If you like this, look up Baroque next to see how artists used light and detail in other works.
