On viewLabel TextGeorge Cochran Lambdin specialized in flower paintings. White, Pink, Yellow and Red Roses reflects an intimate knowledge of roses with flowers in various stages of bloom. Lambdin often found his subjects in his own rose gardens in Germantown, Pennsylvania, an important center for American horticulture. He was not dedicated to a completely accurate representation, though. Here, roses of multiple colors appear to bloom from a single bush.
La especialidad de George Cochran Lambdin eran las pinturas de flores. Esta pintura muestra las flores en distintas etapas de florecimiento, lo cual refleja un conocimiento íntimo de las rosas. A menudo, Lambdin hallaba el tema de sus pinturas en su propio jardín de rosas, en Germantown, Pennsylvania, un importante centro de la horticultura estadounidense. Sin embargo, su dedicación no estaba dirigida a una representación exacta. Aquí, rosas de distintos colores parecen brotar de un sólo arbusto.
