About this motif
Rose hips are the fruit of the wild rose and are rich in vitamin C. The well-known German children's song "Ein Männlein steht im Walde" is a riddle whose answer is the rose hip.
Sommer's etching "Rose Hips" shows a tall, simple vessel with branches full of red rose hips and dry grasses, with a fallen leaf in front. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
