About the work
Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret visited Chiddingstone, Kent in 1910. Mackintosh made a series of works here ( including also Crab – Apple and Japonica ). These botanical drawings all have a similar format and are usually inscribed with the artist’s initials and also with those of who were with him. In this case the cartouche reads “CRM and MMM” ( Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh ). Blackthorn is a detailed study of the dramatic flowers and stems of Prunus spinosa ( a European native also known as ‘Sloe’ and used for flavouring gin ). The Blackthorn has dense clouds of snow-white flowers in spring. Like Japonica the style of this drawing shows the influence of Japanese aesthetics on Mackintosh’s work; an approach played out in numerous other designs during his career.
