Tax included in product price. Excludes shipping, calculated at checkout

This A5 notebook boasts a durable and high quality hardcover binding and is perfect for jotting down your thoughts and ideas. It showcases the detailed artwork of renowned Dutch Golden Age painter Abraham Mignon with vibrant flowers arranged in an intricate vase, true to form for the now instantly recognisable Dutch still life genre.

This hardback notebook is filled with lined A5 sized paper and comes with a handy page-saving black ribbon to help keep your place.

The artwork reproduced on the cover of this notebook is Flowers in an ornamental Vase, A bold painting with rich detail portraying a complex arrangement of many flowers with butterflies, insects and snails. Highly popular, flower still lifes often combined blooms from multiple seasons and found across multiple continents in singular vases as an expression of a central theme to Dutch still life painting - the bold, at times ostentatious, showings of the luxury, wealth and power amassed during the flourishing Dutch colonial empire.
