This exquisite illustration is part of his renowned work titled "Botanical Sketches of Australian Plants" which was created between 1803 and 1806. Lewin's attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in this piece, as he masterfully combines watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil to bring this botanical specimen to life. The delicate pink flowers of the Malva capensis or Cape Mallow bloom vibrantly against a backdrop of lush green leaves.
