More about this artwork

Peter Newell’s artwork "The Rocket Book Pl 05" from 1912 offers a whimsical and intriguing scene that tickles the imagination. This illustration depicts a dramatic moment where a blooming explosion, like a fire plume, erupts from a seemingly ordinary flowerpot. The central figures in the painting, a surprised man attempting to water the pot and a young girl, seem caught off-guard by this unexpected event. The facial expressions and body language expertly captured by Newell convey shock and curiosity. In the background, a fish inside a bowl mirrors these expressions, adding a humorous touch to the scene. This artwork encapsulates Newell’s unique ability to blend the everyday with the fantastic, creating engaging narratives that speak to both young and old.
