Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750)

"Rachel Ruysch (3 June 1665 – 12 October 1750) was a Dutch still-life painter from the Northern Netherlands. She specialized in flowers, inventing her own style and achieving international fame in her lifetime. Due to a long and successful career that spanned over six decades, she became the best documented woman painter of the Dutch Golden Age, being followed by Jan van Huysum, who took flower painting to another degree of popularity." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.02.2022)
