Apple Blossoms

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a bunch of flowers. The flowers have multiple rounded petals each. There are at least 5 flowers and several leaves visible. The flowers are clustered together at the top of a thin stem. The leaves are oval shaped with pointed tips. The background is plain gray. There are some illegible signatures and a date in the corners. The date appears to read 'May 18 1886'.
