From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Untitled (Peonies in a Bowl) is a 1890 ink by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a simple still life of peonies in a round bowl. The flowers are dark and light gray, with some white petals standing out. A few leaves and buds spill over the sides, and a single butterfly floats near the top right corner. On the table below, a couple of petals lie scattered. The artist used fine lines and shading to make the flowers look real. The dark background makes the flowers stand out even more. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint to see how artists create these detailed prints.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
