Delicate Pencil Drawing of Flowering Branches with Thorns (Hawthorn?) fruit Executed on natural colored paperI believe it may be a few branches from a hawthorn tree that are the subject of this lovely old botanical drawing, the delicate white flowers of which are counterpointed by their thorny stalks.

Drawing is still crisp and clear
