Study of a Tulip (Ammirael Winckel)

Another sheet from a tulip book by Pieter Holsteyn II, made around 1645 for growers during Holland’s tulip mania, when the striations caused by a virus in the bulb made a flower especially prized. The inscribed name translates as ‘Admiral Winckel’; Winckel was the family name of one of the largest tulip growers of the period.
