This drawing shows a tall, narrow glass bottle filled with flowers. The bouquet spills over the rim, with big, round blooms and long, wispy leaves. The flowers are drawn in a reddish-brown line that stands out against a plain background. The artist signed it as Roubillac, and the text below names a book called *Fleurs et Corbeilles*. This suggests it might be part of a series of flower drawings. Next, look up Roubillac (French, 1739-) to see more of their work.
