1790
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Chalice Vine is a 1790 by Maria Catharina Prestel, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a plant with big, waxy leaves and two unusual flowers. One flower is a pale, shell-like shape, while the other is a pale, rounded bud. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the stems are thin and branching. The artist focused on the plant’s details, making the textures look almost real. This was made in 1790 by Maria Catharina Prestel, a woman artist. Next, look up Maria Catharina Prestel (German, 1747–1794) to see more of her work.
Maria Katharina Prestel (22 July 1747 – 16 March 1794) née Maria Katharina Höll, was an engraver and painter from Nuremberg, and active in London.
