A cardinal flower stands in delicate botanical detail against a cream ground, its tubular scarlet blooms arranged in a vertical spike with deep green lance-shaped leaves below. The hand-colored illustration captures the flower with precise observation and soft watercolor technique, rendering both the plant's architectural structure and the gentle gradations of red pigment with naturalistic grace. A glossy-finished set of four, made to order. A bold way to bring an independent artist's work into the room without committing to a large piece, whether on the dining table or the bar at your next party.
