Tie-back

Harry Jennings

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with a central stalk, large leaves, and a cluster of small, tightly-packed flowers at the top. The colors are predominantly earth tones, including shades of green, brown, and hints of yellow. Positioned centrally on a plain background, the stalk extends vertically from the bottom to the top of the image, with leaves unfurling along its length and the flower cluster prominently displayed at the top.
