"Roses, Tulips in a Basket" is a notable still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Balthasar van der Ast (1593/94–1657). Van der Ast was renowned for his detailed and vibrant depictions of flowers, shells, and insects, which were highly prized during the 17th century for their intricate compositions and botanical accuracy. This particular work exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering textures and colors, as well as his ability to capture the transient beauty of flora.

The painting features an artfully arranged selection of flowers, including roses and tulips, set in a woven basket. The composition is typically rich and varied, showcasing Van der Ast's talent for creating depth and realism through the use of light and shadow. The flowers are depicted with a high degree of naturalism, each petal and leaf meticulously crafted to reflect its unique characteristics. The inclusion of tulips is significant, as these flowers were the subject of intense interest and high economic value during the period known as "Tulip Mania" in the Dutch Republic.

Balthasar van der Ast's works often contained symbolic elements, with flowers representing the brevity of life and the inevitability of decay, a theme known as "memento mori."
