This is one of a number of Slater's watercolors that came from the collection of Danish critic and author Georg Bröchner, who wrote for the British art magazine "The Studio" in the early twentieth century. Japanese flowering quince is a thorny deciduous shrub that blossoms in spring with pink, red, white, or multi-color flowers. The flowers and branch structures make the Japanese quince ideal for floral arrangements.
