Bouquet of Flowers in a Glass Vase
Stipple engraving, 24.3 x 18.9 cm, by Louis-Marin Bonnet (1743–93), after N. Carle
Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris
 

Bright red, pink, blue, and deep violet blooms rise from a rounded glass vase placed upon a stone ledge, their curling stems and layered petals spreading outward in different directions. The insect scurrying across the ledge adds movement and brings an ordinary detail of nature into the arrangement.
