Iconographie du genre camellia: No. 194 is a 1841 by Abbé Laurent Berlèse, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a single white camellia flower with thick, layered petals. Two glossy green leaves grow from the stem, one on each side. The background is plain, letting the flower stand out clearly. The name *Camellia Timbrata alba* is written below, showing this was meant as a precise plant study. The artist focused on small details like the petals’ soft folds and the leaf veins.
