Story

Clusters of roses bloom in pink, red, white, and yellow among green leaves, while a dragonfly hovers and a bird tends its nest, all set before a cloudy landscape. Robert John Thornton created this coloured plate engraved in aquatint, stipple and line in 1799.

Where it works

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