This is a drawing of a budding flower on a stem with leaves. The sketch is done in pencil on a slightly textured paper, featuring a single, prominently rendered flower bud at the end of a stem. The lines are expressive and fluid, giving movement to the leaves and petals surrounding the bud. The background of the drawing is plain, focusing attention on the central floral subject, and it captures the organic curves and shapes of the flower and its foliage. The drawing has a natural and spontaneous feel.
