Studie af blomster 1749

"Studie af blomster" (Study of Flowers) is a delicate watercolor painting by Johanna Fosie, a Danish artist known for her botanical illustrations. Executed in 1749, the artwork showcases four different flower species, including a rose, a sweet pea, a cornflower, and a carnation. The precise details and naturalistic representation of the flowers demonstrate Fosie’s talent for botanical illustration, a popular genre during the 18th century. This artwork, now housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Fosie's artistic skills and provides a glimpse into the beauty of the natural world through her keen eye for detail.
