About this work

This painting shows a loose bunch of flowers in soft pinks and whites. The stems look limp, like they’re wilting. A single green leaf droops at the bottom. This is a print meant to copy a chalk drawing. Printers used a metal tool to rough up the paper, making it look hand-drawn. Artists copied real flowers first, then shared the designs.
