This is a simple pen-and-ink drawing of flowers by Cecil Beaton. He worked in the mid-20th century, so this piece fits right in that time frame. The flowers stand out in dark ink on light paper. Beaton had a long career. He shot fashion photos, designed costumes, and even won an Oscar for his film work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of his drawings.
