This image shows a single stem with two kinds of flowers. The top has three bright pink blooms with dark centers and green leaves. Below, smaller blue flowers grow among larger, wavy-edged leaves. The colors are soft but clear, with no shading to make parts look dark. The artist labeled it *"Mallow d’Espagne"* (Spanish mallow), which is one of the flowers shown. The name hints at where the plant might have grown. If you like detailed flower drawings, look up *The Cleveland Museum of Art*.
