EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Zieria laevigata, a native Australian plant. Created by John William Lewin, the first professional artist in New South Wales during the early 19th century, this artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" from 1803-06. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration, which combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil techniques. The white flowers of Zieria laevigata are meticulously depicted against a backdrop that highlights their elegance and purity. The artist's expertise in capturing botanical subjects shines through as he brings forth the intricate features of this colonial Rutaceae species. Displayed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this piece offers a glimpse into Australia's rich natural history. With dimensions measuring approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in Lewin's artistic interpretation. As we admire this timeless creation by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both the remarkable talent possessed by John William Lewin and Australia's diverse flora. This image serves as an ode to nature’s wonders and stands as a testament to human curiosity about our environment throughout history.
