C. H. Matthews

This 1850s British artist left us one delicate watercolour titled Untitled (1856). We don’t know much else about Matthews, but the single surviving sheet shows the soft washes and fine botanical detail typical of early Victorian watercolour work. Scan the sheet up close and you’ll see each petal and stem still holds its pale glow after 170 years. Tap Untitled (1856) to zoom in on those quiet, precise lines.
