About this work

This page shows three close-up watercolor sketches of tulips. Each drawing focuses on a single stem with one or two flowers, their petals drawn with careful lines. The background is plain, keeping all attention on the plants. The bottom sketch is different—it’s a landscape with a river, a bridge, and buildings in the distance. The tulip drawings look like they might be from a book of plant studies. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their collection.
