Technique: Drawing

This monochrome study of a daisy flower head was drawn by Mackmurdo, most likely in the 1870s or 1880s. Mackmurdo frequently included flowers and other botanical forms in repeating patterns and furniture designs for the Century Guild. The irregular nature of the petals, as seen in the side view, imply the study was likely drawn by Mackmurdo from life. However, the stylised regular arrangement of the carpels, as seen in the top-down view, show traces of Mackmurdo’s distinctive style.
