About this work

This painting shows three plants with bright flowers and long green leaves. The flowers are orange, yellow, and a mix of both, some with petals that look slightly curled. The roots are visible, spreading out from the base of the stems against a plain light background. The artist focused on small details, like the texture of the leaves and the way the roots grow. This kind of careful drawing was often used to study plants. If you like this style, check out more about watercolor.
