EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate botanical illustration of "Page 39. Solanum nigrum" by John William Lewin, a renowned artist from the British colony of New South Wales in Australia during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of his iconic series titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's attention to detail is evident in this piece, as he skillfully combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring forth the beauty and essence of Solanum nigrum, commonly known as black nightshade. The delicate white flowers stand out against the dark foliage, capturing nature's contrasting elements. As one of Australia's first professional artists, Lewin played a significant role in documenting and preserving the country's unique flora through his illustrations. This particular work exemplifies his dedication to showcasing Australia's natural history with precision and artistic flair. The Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales houses this remarkable piece that measures approximately 38-38.5 x 25-28 cm. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Lewin's contribution to botany and colonial Australian artistry.
