Two Tulips and Two Irises by Johanna Helena Herolt (c. 1668-1723)
As the daughter of Maria Sibylla Merian, Herolt often lived in her mother’s shadow, but she had a vibrant style all her own. Her colorful compositions often combined several different flowers and, like her better-known parent, she displayed a talent for depicting insects. Some of her works are co-signed by her mother, suggesting collaborations between the two.
