Iris susiana (sørge-iris); Iris ×florentina (violrod)

Rendered in a realistic manner, the irises display careful attention to petal texture, subtle color shifts, and the play of light across their surfaces. The delicate modeling of stems and foliage creates a sense of three‑dimensionality within the flat plane of the image.

The piece dates to the mid‑17th century and has remained in the custody of the Museum of Ethnography. No further ownership changes are recorded, and the artist’s identity is listed only by a catalog number rather than a conventional name.
