"Studieblad med blomster og planter" (Study Sheet with Flowers and Plants) is a watercolor on paper by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, dated 1840. This detailed botanical study showcases Lundbye's keen eye for observation, capturing the delicate beauty of various flowers and a mushroom. The composition features a vase with a bouquet of wildflowers, a single periwinkle blossom, and a branch with a single flower. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the flowers' petals and the subtle shading of the mushroom's surface. This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Lundbye's talent for capturing the essence of the natural world.
