Day Lily
1600
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This painting shows a delicate day lily flower in watercolour. It's interesting because it's part of a huge collection of drawings and prints from the 17th century. The collection was put together by Cassiano dal Pozzo, who was into science and nature. This flower drawing is a small part of that. You can learn more at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
