Hare Bells

A delicate botanical study of Hyacinth or Hare Bells, illustrated with Blackwell’s characteristic clarity and restraint. The slender flowering stem rises from a carefully observed bulb and root system, while soft blue blooms add a gentle lift of colour against the aged paper ground. Both scientific and quietly decorative, this piece brings a sense of calm balance and early spring freshness to the collection. Finished with a printed linen-style border in pale blue.
