A rose flower - not sure of the variety as this one came up from below a graft. Probably a "Dog Rose" which is often used for root stock to graft other rose varieties on to.

"Flowers in a Vase," Henriëtte Geertruida Knip, 1830.
Knip (1783-1842) was a Dutch floral painter. She learned a lot from her brother Joseph, who was also a painter, but when he and their father lost their eyesight, she was able to support her family through her art, selling pleasant florals like this one.
It was an artistic family; her niece was Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, famous for her cute paintings of cats that prefigured the modern rage for cute cats on the internet.
