EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts Malva sylvestris, commonly known as Common Mallow or Shrubby Althea, a beautiful flowering plant belonging to the Malvaceae family, order Malvales, and class Eudicot. Painted by the renowned English botanical artist Arthur Harry Church on August 24, 1908, this illustration is a stunning representation of the plant's delicate pink blooms and velvety petals. Malva sylvestris is a herbaceous perennial or shrub, native to Europe, western Asia, and northwestern Africa. It is characterized by its large, round, lobed leaves and showy, five-petaled flowers. The plant is a member of the Rosid clade of the Rosids, a major group of flowering plants, and is classified as an Angiosperm, a type of seed-producing plant. The Common Mallow is also known by various other names, including Rose of Sharon and Hibiscus syriacus, although it is not related to the Hibiscus genus. The plant is widely cultivated for ornamental purposes due to its attractive flowers and ease of cultivation. Arthur Harry Church was a prolific botanical artist who produced numerous illustrations of plants during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work is highly regarded for its accuracy and artistic merit, making this watercolor an invaluable addition to any botanical collection. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the rich diversity of the plant kingdom and the artistic talent of one of the greatest botanical artists of the 19th century.
