The Temple of Flora, or Garden of Nature: The White Lily with Variegated Leaves

Robert John Thornton

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a colored botanical illustration of a plant with white flowers and variegated leaves. The plant has a long stem with green and white variegated leaves. The stem is topped with a cluster of six white flowers, each with six petals and yellow stamens. A flower bud is at the top of the stem. A partially opened white flower is at the bottom. The background is dark and shadowy, with a distant landscape featuring trees, a domed building with columns, and a blue sky. The illustration is framed by a beige border. At the bottom of the illustration, there is cursive text that reads "The White Lily" and smaller text below that is illegible.
