Botanical Study of Roses, Clover, Daisies and Apple Blossom in Pencil

A pencil drawing on pale paper arranged as four separate botanical studies: a branch of wild roses at upper left, clover sprigs with trefoil leaves at upper right, a bound bunch of daisies at lower left, and an apple branch with fruit at lower right. Soft graded shading gives the leaves and petals volume.
