"A Still Life with Indian Cress" is a painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Florentius Nicolaas Jacobus Arntzenius, commonly known as Floris Arntzenius (1864–1925). Arntzenius was known for his versatility as an artist, working in various genres including still lifes, cityscapes, and portraits. Although primarily recognized for his depictions of The Hague and its daily life, his still life compositions, such as "A Still Life with Indian Cress," also contribute to his artistic legacy.

The painting features a carefully arranged composition of Indian cress, also known as nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), a plant known for its vibrant flowers and rounded leaves. The artwork showcases Arntzenius's skill in rendering textures and colors, capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow on the petals and foliage. The choice of Indian cress may reflect the artist's interest in the natural world and its aesthetic qualities, as well as the popularity of floral still lifes in the Dutch artistic tradition.

"A Still Life with Indian Cress" exemplifies the late 19th and early 20th-century still life genre, where artists often sought to convey more than mere representation, imbuing their works with a sense of life and vibrancy. Arntzenius's painting would have appealed to contemporary tastes, which favored the beauty of everyday objects and the quiet contemplation they could inspire.

As with many of Arntzenius's works, this painting likely reflects the influence of the Hague School, a group of artists active in the late 19th century who focused on realistic depictions of everyday scenes. The Hague School artists often employed a muted color palette and were interested in the effects of light, which can be seen in the nuanced execution of "A Still Life with Indian Cress."

The painting is a testament to Arntzenius's technical proficiency and his ability to infuse a traditional subject with a sense of modernity and freshness. It remains an example of the enduring appeal of still life painting and the capacity of this genre to capture the transient beauty of the natural world.
