About this work

This plate shows a big green flower with a black center, sitting inside a white circle. Around the flower, there are swirly green vines and tiny leaves. The edge of the plate has a yellowish border with a repeating pattern of dots and lines. The flower looks like a tulip, but it’s drawn in a stylized way. The colors are mostly green, black, and white, with some yellow and brown details. Next, look up tulipa to see how real tulips compare to this painted one.
