Les Roses: Rosa alpina pendulina is a 1820 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, depicting Rosa, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a single pink alpine rose in soft pinks and greens. Two leaves curve around it, one bright, one half in shade. The petals look almost real—you want to touch them. Redouté painted this while working for Marie Antoinette. He used fine brushes and bright colors to show tiny details. See more like this at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
