From the Getty Museum record

Herman Henstenburgh depicts a glass vase overflowing with fritillaries, marigolds, morning glories, daisies, primroses, ranunculus, and forget-me-nots. Resting on the edge of a stone ledge and set in a niche, a lush and colorful still life is a feast for the eyes. Two colorful butterflies and a singular snail further animate this sumptuous array. Made for the album amicorum (friendship album) that honors silhouette artist Joanna Koerten Blok, the proposed sheet vaunts a laudatory Latin poem painted in gold.
