Antirrhiniums by a Yellow Curtain is a 1870 watercolor by Francis Edward RWS James, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting features a bouquet of flowers in a clear vase, set against a backdrop of a yellow curtain. The flowers are predominantly red and white, with some greenery visible among the blooms. The vase is transparent, allowing the stems of the flowers to be seen. The flowers appear to be antirrhiniums, which are a type of snapdragon. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the flowers, from deep reds and oranges to soft pinks and whites. The yellow curtain behind the flowers adds a warm and sunny feel to the painting. The overall effect of the painting is one of simplicity and elegance. The artist has used a limited color palette to create a sense of calm and serenity.
