From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows two tall flower stems with clusters of bell-shaped blooms. One stem has pale pink flowers with darker spots, while the other has white flowers with brown spots. Both have long, narrow leaves at the base and a few smaller leaves along the stems. The flowers look carefully drawn, with soft shading to show depth. The background is plain, so the focus stays on the plants. If you like detailed plant paintings, check out the technique: watercolor.
