The Petunia
This conversation is connected to The Petunia.
A close-up view of a garden — dense green and brown foliage fills the upper two-thirds, with small purple flowers (likely clover or wild aster) scattered through the undergrowth and a single palmate leaf picked out in bright green at center. A dark red-brown horizontal line — a branch or garden border — divides the composition. Below it, a single pink petunia bloom opens against a warmer, more ochre-toned ground, with a small green rosette of leaves beside it. The painting is a fragment of a garden seen at close range, botanical in its attention.
