label: Description
content: Botanical sketch showing an isolated view of a rose bough. Situated at center, the petals of the pink rose blossom are individually rendered, while the interior of the blossom appears to glow, as if light has traveled through its semi-transparent petals. Its stem, filled with multiple green leaves, twists off to the left. The artist's gray-green ground is visible behind the rose.
