About the work
Jacob Marrel’s ca. 1635–45 watercolour records four prized cultivars: Boter man, Joncker, Grote geplumaceerde and Voorwint. Created during the era of Dutch tulip speculation, the sheet belongs to the tradition of Tulpenboeken—albums that documented rare bulbs with a precision somewhere between botanical record and luxury portrait.
