Richmond-Moll explores the complexity of plant life, as both organic form and cultural symbol, in the work of nineteenth-century American painter John Frederick Kensett. In the artist’s Study of a Burdock Plant, one discovers a multilayered view into the conventions of nineteenth-century landscape painting, contemporary ideas about horticulture and herbal medicine, and the emblematic power of plants in constructing American identity.
