DescriptionDescription: Studies such as this filled an important purpose for landscape painters in the early 1800s. Skilfully and meticulously, they would paint or draw separate components from nature, seeking to study every minute detail. This was a way of building a visual vocabulary that could be used when working on the large landscapes that were painted in the studio. Broadleaf plantain and other plants were often portrayed in the foreground of these paintings.
