About this work

This study shows several separate botanical sketches on a pale, aged ground, including pink roses, a red carnation, a sprig of heliotrope, a white blossom and a pink orchid. The loose arrangement of isolated flowers and leaves suggests preparatory observation rather than a finished composition. The work is attributed to Martin Johnson Heade and dated 1869.
