Each flower is depicted with its characteristic foliage and natural growth patterns. The artwork shows meticulous attention to botanical details, particularly in the rendering of leaf structures, the delicate flower petals, and the distinctive features of each species. The illustration combines scientific accuracy with artistic composition, characteristic of Chinese natural history paintings of this period. This piece exemplifies the careful observation and technical precision typical of Chinese export watercolours, with particular attention paid to the accurate depiction of both primary blooms and secondary floral elements. 4205.12 1 accession number 4205.12 317656 priref 317656 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317656 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317656 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference agent-209819 adlib-agent-209819 9e33662d-f007-37cf-b08a-3b352982e58d Canton workshop reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-128516 adlib-term-128516 a7e60cca-458e-39da-9d9f-07698e4158eb literal China China country literal Guangzhou Guangzhou region Guangzhou Height mm 183 Width mm 295 reference term-106211 adlib-term-106211 a643b236-c3c1-3854-ba79-8c4da8aa6dfc watercolour reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference term-8815 adlib-term-8815 d3abddec-eb50-3239-8d87-7fe37b5dee27 Chinese reference term-147625 adlib-term-147625 2914c5fd-f9db-331c-b324-afa3257924e0 Chinese export art reference term-147704 adlib-term-147704 fba0aee4-172e-38d0-93df-2363af8dbf76 Chinese export watercolour
