Maria van Oosterwijck was a Dutch Golden Age painter particularly devoted to floral still lifes. While most of her work consists of depictions of bouquets in a vase, she also devised alternative configurations, such as garlands (arrangements of flowers hung from two points) and festoons (arrangements hung from one point). This festoon consists of a bunch of grapes with a few flowers (rose, pomegranate blossom, viola, blue vinca, forget-me-not), some ivy and vine leaves, and a pine cone.
