About the piece
Dating to the early 19th century, this refined gouache painting depicts the Nelumbo nucifera, commonly known as the East Indian lotus. The composition showcases the artist's technical skill, contrasting the delicate, overlapping white petals of the central blossom with the heavy, sculptural presence of the green leaves against a soft, aged paper ground.
