スミソニアン博物館のインスタグラム(smithsonian) - 10月20日 06時23分

When she was 8, Mary Morris Vaux received a set of watercolor paints and started experimenting with painting flowers. She spent summers climbing mountains, studying natural science and recording what she saw in drawings and photographs.
She married Smithsonian Secretary Charles Walcott in 1914, and the couple stayed in the Canadian Rockies for a few months each season. He continued his geological and paleontological studies; she painted hundreds of watercolor studies of native flowers.
The Smithsonian published a five-volume set of her work, and hundreds of her botanical illustrations—like “Untitled (Autumn Leaves),” 1877—are in our @americanartmuseum. ??
