About this work

This picture shows a small watercolor of flowers. The image is black and white, but the flowers look soft and detailed—mostly white, with some green leaves. The background is light and blurry, like a garden. The flowers are primroses and violets, painted by someone named Sherrin in the mid-1800s. The tiny size and careful brushwork make it look delicate. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum next—they hold this painting.
