Artist, American, 1874 - 1947

A tall vase holds a large bouquet of flowers with clusters of blooms, primarily occupying the center of the image. The color palette consists of shades of black, white, and gray, as this is a charcoal drawing. The flowers are arranged vertically in the center, with dark leaves and stems below the blooms and some flowers extending outward and slightly upward from the main cluster, creating a dynamic yet balanced composition against the textured background.
