This is a single flower painted in soft watercolor. The petals are pale pink, clustered tightly on a thin stem. Long, narrow leaves curve out from the base, drawn in green and blue-green strokes. The artist wrote the flower’s name—*Rex Floridanorum*—and the date *1731* at the top. It’s a quiet study, not a grand scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
