Flower (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing titled "Flower (from Sketchbook)" by John William Casilear. The drawing is rectangular and contains a flower with many petals and a stem. The flower is drawn in a simple line style with shading to create depth. There are leaves around the flower and a few insects flying around it. The drawing is placed on a white background that appears to be a page from a sketchbook. The page has some darker spots and lines on it, giving it a worn look. The drawing is centered on the page and has a thin black border around it.
