Illustrations and descriptions of...the Natural Order Camellieae: No. 44 is a 1858 by Alfred Chandler, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a single pink camellia flower with thick petals and a yellow center. The petals fade to white at the edges, and the flower sits on a thin stem with two large, glossy green leaves. A small unopened bud hangs nearby, still wrapped in green. The name at the bottom reads *Camellia japonica*, which tells you this flower was a focus of science and art in the 1800s.
