In this 1929 work, Leo Engels presents an atmospheric still life with a bouquet of pink-and-white tulips in a glass vase, accompanied by a porcelain figurine of two doves. A single tulip lies on the table, adding a playful and natural touch to the composition. The dark background and reflections on the tabletop enhance the colours and shapes, while the bright accents in the flowers and porcelain give the work a fresh, lively appearance. The painting is signed and dated by the artist on the front and named on the reverse.
