"Vase of Flowers by a Window 2" is a notable still-life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Balthasar van der Ast (1593/94–1657). Known for his detailed and intricate depictions of flowers and insects, van der Ast was a pioneer in the genre of still life, and his works are considered seminal in the development of floral painting in the Netherlands.

This particular painting, "Vase of Flowers by a Window 2," exemplifies van der Ast's mastery in capturing the transient beauty of flowers, as well as his skillful use of light and shadow to create depth and realism. The composition typically features a rich array of flowers arranged in a vase, set against the backdrop of a window that opens to a view of the sky or a distant landscape, a motif that adds a sense of space and context to the work.

The painting is characterized by its vibrant colors and the variety of flora it portrays, each flower rendered with meticulous attention to detail. This not only reflects the artist's botanical interests but also the 17th-century fascination with the natural world and the desire to catalog and understand it. Van der Ast's inclusion of insects, such as butterflies and beetles, adds another layer of naturalism and symbolism, as these creatures were often used to convey messages about the brevity of life and the concept of vanitas in art.
