Ambrosius Bosschaert the Younger was the eldest son of Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, one of the forerunners of the still-life genre in Northern Europe in the early 17th century. Adhering to a tradition established by his father, Ambrosius the Younger was known for his beautiful botanical still-lifes that showcased flowers to their best advantage. Ambrosius the Younger's skill is unmistakable in this lively composition of roses, fire tulips, and wild flowers, which was likely completed early in his career.
