Flower Study, 1866, Watercolor, sheet: 11 1/2 x 15 in. (29.2 x 38.1 cm), Drawings, John Jessop Hardwick (British, London 1831–1917), Petunias, wild roses, thistles and red berries are here displayed as though growing amongst moss and fallen logs. Close focus and careful delineation demonstrate the influence of William Henry Hunt (British, 1790–1864), who had been elected to the Old Watercolour Society in 1826 and specialized in rustic subjects and still-lives, developing a technique that involved building up dense layers of color over a ground of white gouache to create luminosity
