About The Artwork
expand_more
Although only two of her works are known to survive today, Haverman was celebrated at a young age for her gifts as a flower painter. She studied with the notoriously secretive flower painter Jan van Huysum and later gained admission to the French Royal Academy in Paris. The artist’s skill is on full display in this magnificent arrangement of flowers and fruit, in which she used innovative pigments such as Prussian blue. Over time, the organic yellow lake pigment has faded, resulting in the present blue appearance of the leaves. Haverman’s confident signature appears as though incised in the plinth supporting the bouquet.

About the artist

Margaretha Haverman (c. 1693–after 1739) was a Dutch flower painter born in Breda, Netherlands. She studied under the renowned still-life artist Jan van Huysum and became known for her detailed floral compositions. In 1722, she was accepted into the prestigious Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in Paris, but was expelled in 1723 amid allegations that her admission painting had been created by her former teacher. Today, only two signed flower paintings by Haverman are known to survive, including A Vase of Flowers (1716), housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
