Terme di Caracalla, Roma is a 1892 graphite by Marietta Minnigerode Andrews, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a loose bouquet of flowers—bright red poppies, tiny purple blooms, and a few yellow ones—all painted in quick, soft brushstrokes. The leaves are green but not too dark, and the stems look slightly tangled. In the corner, there’s a tiny sketch of an American flag and some handwritten words. The artist signed it "Terme di Caracalla, Roma" and dated it July 4, 1892, which might mean she painted these flowers while visiting Rome. The colors feel fresh but not polished, like she worked fast. If you like this style, look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to create light and shadow.
