Spray of Flowers and Ferns

Amerikanische Malerei 1858–1865, date unknown

In the center of the painting, there is a bouquet of various flowers, including blue, white, and yellow blossoms surrounded by green leaves and ferns. The color palette is predominantly dark, and the dark-green foliage is hard to distinguish from the black background in some places. The flowers are arranged closely together, with stems and leaves extending outward. There is a small cluster of red berries hanging on the left side of the bouquet.
