Hannah Borger Overbeck's "Burning Bush" (1915) stands as a luminous testament to her mastery of botanical illustration, a genre she elevated with her meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color. Overbeck, born in 1870 in Mishawaka, Indiana, was a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement in America. Alongside her sisters, she founded the Overbeck Pottery Studio, where she contributed her artistic talents to their renowned ceramic works.

In "Burning Bush," Overbeck employs a style that blends scientific precision with artistic flair, a hallmark of her work.
