Flower study is a 18 by George Wallis, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a simple vase of flowers on a plain gray background. The vase holds three stems: a cluster of blue forget-me-nots, a single pink rose, and a white rosebud. Around it float loose stems—purple carnations, a red snapdragon, and a white blossom—all resting on the surface like they’ve just fallen. The artist used fine, precise lines to show each petal and leaf, making the flowers look delicate. The signature in the corner reads *George Wallis*. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
