Pictures by Dutch artist

Design this card$13.00~~$18.00~~

A plump bumble bee, painted by an unknown Dutch artist in the 1600s, carries a gentle pun inside: buzzing by to say get well soon, we miss you. Small insect studies like this were made in the Netherlands when naturalists first began looking closely at life in the garden. For someone on the mend who is missed.
