Autumn Paintings by Catharina Klein

Don't those roses look like ones that bloom in autumn when grapes and medlars are ripe?
Although not many roses in this video, it does show off her talent for capturing the spirit of autumn. She was born in 1861 and was already exhibiting her work in the 1880s. Several of works in this video, especially the highly detailed ones, were bound in a book of daily poetry readings published in America in 1894. So she was already famous by then.
