Rododendron 1920

"Rododendron," a 1920 etching by C.J. Rovers, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail in capturing the delicate beauty of a rhododendron blossom. The print, measuring 312 mm in height and 307 mm in width, uses subtle variations in line and tone to render the flower's intricate form and the texture of its leaves. The composition centers on the rhododendron, its petals meticulously rendered with a delicate touch, against a dark background that emphasizes its delicate beauty. This artwork offers a glimpse into the artistic sensitivity and technical skill of C.J. Rovers, a lesser-known artist who specialized in botanical illustrations.
