 * Reason:High quality painting, of an elaborate sophistication and complexity by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder ( 1573 – 1621) a highly successful still life  painter  of the Dutch Golden Age. When tulips became a luxury item, a profusion of varieties followed, like the ones in the painting,   white and yellow with red strips. These paintings are valuable as historic documents for botanical purposes, since the flowers are depicted with great accuracy.
