Tagetes patula (udspærret fløjlsblomst) is a 1654 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows five tall stems with bright orange flowers. The flowers sit at the top, looking round and fuzzy. Thin green leaves grow along the stems, pointing in different directions. The artist focused on the flowers’ details—each petal is drawn carefully. The background is plain, so the colors stand out more. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for soft effects.
