Begonia 1935

"Begonia" is a 1935 black and white print by American artist Edward R. Ferguson. The artwork depicts a single potted Begonia plant on a table covered with a lace doily. The artist uses a stark contrast of light and dark to create a dramatic effect, with the leaves and flowers of the Begonia plant appearing in solid black against the light background. Ferguson, known for his detailed botanical prints, uses a simplified, stylized approach to depict the plant, emphasizing its form and texture. The print, likely made with the woodcut or etching technique, is part of Ferguson's series of prints showcasing various flowers and plants.
