Studie van een Oostindische kers 1869 - 1925

This study of an East Indian cherry blossom, completed between 1869 and 1925 by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen, is a delicate exploration of botanical form. A single flower, rendered in watercolor, is depicted in full bloom, while a second arrangement of blossoms is sketched in pencil, demonstrating the artist's approach to capturing the delicate curves and textures of the plant. Derkinderen's meticulous attention to detail reveals his keen observation and skillful handling of both mediums, making this piece a compelling study of the beauty of nature.
