About this work

This drawing shows an open book with bright flowers painted on the pages. The flowers are mostly purple, pink, and white, with some green leaves and stems. The background is black, and the edges of the book have a simple white border. The flowers are arranged in clusters, some hanging like garlands. The artist used careful lines to make each petal and leaf look detailed. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
