About this work

This painting shows flowers with white petals and yellow centers. Some have long green stems, others are still in bud form. At the bottom, you can see brown bulbs with roots hanging down. The artist focused on every part of the plant, even the roots. This kind of careful drawing was often used in old plant books. Want to see more?
