John Frederick Lewis - In the Bey's Garden, 1865



      This is an absolute masterpiece of botanical and figurative art! The sheer level of detail in the garden, from the individual rose petals to the towering white lilies, is breathtaking. The painting offers a woman gracefully arranging flowers in a sunlit garden, dressed in rich Turkish attire. The figure is believed to be Lewis’s wife, Marian, posing as the wife of a provincial governor, or Bey.
