Chinese Flower is a 1804 by Mary Altha Nims, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single red flower with a bright yellow center dotted with tiny blue specks. The petals are smooth and rounded, surrounded by thick, glossy green leaves. The background is plain and light, keeping all focus on the flower. The flower looks almost too perfect—like a pressed version of nature. It’s drawn with careful attention to color and shape, making it stand out. If you like this kind of detailed floral art, look up Romanticism next.
Mary Altha Nims (1817–1907) was an American artist.
