This bouquet reflects deliberate care. Each flower is arranged not only for its beauty, but as part of a composition that suggests memory, attention, and intention. Clara Peeters captures a fleeting moment with exacting detail, as if trying to hold onto something just before it changes. Suitable for birthdays, recovery, or any occasion that calls for a thoughtful pause.
Currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art courtesy of Lila Acheson Wallace, Howard S. and Nancy Marks, Friends of European Paintings, and Mr. and Mrs. J. Tomilson Hill Gifts, Gift of Humanities Fund Inc., by exchange, Henry and Lucy Moses Fund Inc. Gift, and funds from various donors, 2020.
