Buy me spring flowers is a 1820 by Oakley, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a young man standing in a doorway, holding a small bouquet of flowers. He’s dressed in a long coat, a red belt, and boots, with a hat resting on the ground beside him. A dog lies nearby, and a basket of flowers sits at his feet. The title *Buy me spring flowers* hints this might be about street vendors selling flowers. The soft, sketchy lines give the scene a gentle, almost storybook feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
The drawing titled "Buy me spring flowers" was created by Oakley in 1820.
