Flower Print no.9

Nicolas Cochin after Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image features large, intricately drawn flowers with slender stems and pointed leaves above a scene of people and landscape. The monochrome color palette consists of fine black lines on a cream or beige background. The flowers are prominently positioned in the top half, while a distant pastoral scene with small, detailed figures and a castle-like building appears more subtle and faint in the bottom half.
