Tulip

Amerikanische Malerei 1865–1870, 1869

This painting shows a large yellow tulip on a brown background. The tulip's petals curve delicately, and their bright yellow color is accented by streaks of light green and small hints of red. The flower is positioned in the center of the painting, with its thin green stem extending to the bottom right corner. The flower casts a soft shadow on the brown background, suggesting light coming in from the left.
