Flowering Plant with Buds is a 1764 chalk by Jean-Baptiste Hüet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is called Flowering Plant with Buds. It was made in the mid 1760s. The artist used red chalk on laid paper to create this floral work, which is a simple yet effective medium for drawing plants. This fact tells us that the artist was likely interested in the details of nature. You can learn more about this style at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, which holds other works from the movement: Romanticism.
