This drawing shows a single branch with small white flowers and long green leaves. The flowers hang down, some still in bud form. The page is light-colored, and the artist used soft watercolor strokes. The handwriting in the corner looks like a note about the plant’s name. This kind of detailed plant drawing was common in science books back then. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
