Story

Six carnations fill the composition, their petals streaked in red, pink, and white, set before a sky softened by drifting clouds. Robert John Thornton created this piece in 1799, rendered as a coloured plate using aquatint, stipple, and line engraving.

Where it works

A muted botanical study suited to libraries and bedrooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a vertical format.
