Study of Thistles

This exquisite botanical study by American artist Sophia L. Crownfield captures the delicate beauty of thistles in a balanced layout with beautiful movement of brush. Painted around 1890, composition features five thistle blossoms and green leaves, and is rendered in brush and oil on black paper. Striking in contrast, color, and layout, this piece offers a depth of saturated color that enhances wall art gallery decor or is striking on its own. Crownfield was known for her contributions to textile design and botanical illustration. She brings refined elegance to this botanical piece.
