The flowers are complemented by abundant green foliage showing varied leaf shapes and structures typical of each species. The artwork shows meticulous attention to botanical details, particularly in the rendering of leaf structures, the delicate flower petals, and the natural growth patterns of each species. Each flower type is depicted with careful attention to its distinctive characteristics - from the broad petals of the squash blossoms to the delicate structure of the iris blooms. The leaves show natural variations in size and shape, with precise attention to their venation patterns and the way they connect to the stems. The illustration combines scientific accuracy with artistic composition, characteristic of Chinese natural history paintings of this period. 4205.11 1 accession number 4205.11 317657 priref 317657 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317657 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317657 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 188 Width mm 294 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
