Painting entitled An arrangement of flowers by a tree trunk, by Rachel Ruysch. Painted in Amsterdam, where Ruysch spent most of her life, this reflects the Dutch mania for flowers. Such pictures found a ready market with rich and noble patrons. It is an early work of the type known as forest floor piece'. The flowers move upwards in a spiral. The Dutch love of varied detail is seen in the insects, fungi, and lizard. The artist used a sponge to apply the paint to get the correct texture for the moss and pressed fabric against the wet surface to portray the scales of the lizard
