Flower Print no.10

About this work

This image shows a row of tall, detailed plants with big leaves and flowers. Some flowers are closed, others open, and one plant has a bulb at its base. Below them is a small scene of people on a river, carrying poles and working together. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and textures, likely by scratching into metal plates. This print is one of many floral studies from the 1600s. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
