"Morning Glories" is a delicate drawing of a vine with three white blossoms and leaves by French artist Antoine Pierre Mongin (1762-1827). The work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and demonstrates Mongin's talent for botanical illustration, which was popular in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The soft gray washes of the drawing capture the delicate texture of the flowers.
