Mary Moser painted Flowers in a Basket in 1765 using watercolour. This delicate floral work shows her skill with plants and paint. Watercolour lets her play with light and colour in a way that feels fresh. Moser was only 21 when she made this piece. She was already winning medals and would soon join the Royal Academy as its youngest founder. This painting shows why people admired her work so early. Her watercolour style ties to Romanticism. That movement loved nature and feeling. Check out more at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
