Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

If you look closely, you can spot the parakeet and the mermaid among the cut-out leaves and pomegranates. The work is nearly eight meters wide; the repetition of forms gives the piece the character of a garden through which your gaze can wander. It is held in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
