Description
A single flowering plant with reflexed, star-shaped purple petals swept back from protruding yellow-orange stamens on five downward-facing blooms, several dark oval buds still closed, set above jagged-toothed dark green leaves veined in yellow-green, all on a single upright dark stem against a mottled pale and turquoise-blue ground. The blue background shows visible streaks and pooling from the lithographic printing process, and the flower and leaf outlines are filled with hand-applied colour. *Ballast Flower*, Elspeth Lamb, 2025, stone lithograph with hand colouring.
