Tulip Grand Roy de France

Jan Laurensz. van der Vinne, 1728

A nurseryman commissioned this drawing of a tulip by Jan van der Vinne. It is not a portrait of the flower in its entirety; the leaves and the blossom are depicted separately. He also recorded the tulip’s name. The drawing thus served as an illustration in the price list of a flower catalogue.
