This black and white print titled *Flower Piece* depicts a still life of assorted flowers and grasses. The print is attributed to Johann Nepomuk Mayrhoffer, a German artist born in 1764 and died in 1832. This work is a fine example of a botanical illustration, often a detailed drawing of a plant or flower, which emerged as a popular genre during the 18th and 19th centuries. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the flowers and grasses, combined with the print's delicate aesthetic, makes it a compelling example of botanical art.
