About the Work

This is an example of Watteau’s rare studies of nature. Beginning with black chalk, he very sensitively captured the plant’s delicate forms in such a way as to create an impression of real life and growth. He then began developing the drawing with a brush and watercolour; however, he stopped work on the study long before it was finished.
