1.2018.28: Pergon Claermont
DrawingsA drawing with watercolor depicts a single tulip with a dark green stem and red and white petals. The stem curls slightly, causing the top of the flower to lean towards the left. Two green leaves protrude from the bottom of the stem, facing upwards with pointed ends and curled edges. The flower consists of six white petals, streaked with red largely towards the top and sides of each petal. The artist’s name, the date of the drawing, and the name of the piece are written at the bottom of the paper.
