This drawing shows a fancy vase with two handles, sitting on a rough surface. The vase holds a few flowers—one red and white, another with long pink petals—and a single pink tulip lies on the ground. The vase itself has swirling gold designs and a small spout shaped like a dragon’s head. The paper looks old and worn, with some smudges and stains. The artist used light colors and kept the background simple, focusing on the vase and flowers. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
