Dutch artist Jan Voerman painted this still life of three pots of yellow and orange nasturtiums in the late 19th century. Isabella Stewart Gardner’s friend Ralph W. Curtis brought the work to her attention, writing "it is A1 but will suffer no little ones to hang near it, unless they be real nasturtiums." Isabella was an avid gardener and grew nasturtium vines at her greenhouses in Brookline, Massachusetts. Annually in April, she placed them on the balconies in the courtyard to celebrate her birthday—a tradition the Museum continues today.
This beautiful hardshell eyeglass case features the painting Nasturtiums by Jan I Voerman. The work's tombstone information is printed in gold on the inside of the case. The plush black lining and included microfiber cloth and will keep your glasses safe and smudge-free.
