Flowering Plant with Grass is a 1764 chalk by Jean-Baptiste Hüet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a simple plant with small leaves and flowers. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles. The whole thing is drawn in reddish-brown chalk on light paper. The artist used a soft wash to fill in the shapes. It’s not super detailed—just a quick study of how the plant looks. The paper has a textured look, too.
