Hand-Drawn Sketch of a Floral Vase
Drawing
A pencil drawing on aged paper, depicting a decorative vase with floral patterns and an arrangement of flowers. The sketch is finely detailed, with attention given to the intricate designs on the vase and the delicate rendering of the flowers. The edges of the paper are torn, with visible signs of wear and handling.
The drawing appears to be an artistic study of still life, possibly by Lewis H. Latimer, given the initials "LHL" inscribed in the lower right corner. Latimer was not only a pioneering inventor and draftsman but also an artist, poet, and musician. His technical drawings and artistic sketches demonstrate his multifaceted talents beyond engineering.
