FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Flowers with Yellow Rose is signed "Mélanie Marc, 1842." An open yellow rose forms the center of a floral arrangement, amid delicate sprigs of blue flax and spears (racemes) of purple-and-pink sainfoin. Marc's bouquet-style composition explores the decorative potential of botanical illustration, and the depiction of flowers at multiple angles and life stages fulfills its scientific purpose. There is another painting by Marc at the Barnes: Field Flowers (1842) in Room 20.
