Artist, American, 1862 - 1928

The image shows a detailed pencil sketch of two tall foxglove plants with numerous bell-shaped flowers and broad leaves. The color palette is monochromatic, consisting of shades of grey. One plant stands to the left side of the image, while the other is slightly shorter and positioned to its right. The largest plant appears to dominate the left and central portions of the composition. The stems and leaves extend upwards with a few taller, delicate stems on the right.
