"Great Mullein, Walberswick" is a watercolor painting by Scottish architect, designer, and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928). Created during Mackintosh's time in Suffolk, specifically in the coastal village of Walberswick, the painting is part of a series of botanical studies that the artist undertook between 1914 and 1915. Known for his significant contribution to the Art Nouveau movement, Mackintosh developed a distinctive style that blended natural forms with the simplicity of Japanese aesthetics.

The painting depicts the Great Mullein plant (Verbascum thapsus), a species native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia, which is characterized by its tall, densely packed yellow flowers and soft, woolly leaves. Mackintosh's representation of the plant is noted for its meticulous attention to detail and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, capturing the essence of the mullein's stately form and the texture of its foliage.

Mackintosh's time in Walberswick marked a period of transition in his career, as he moved away from architecture and design towards watercolor painting. His botanical illustrations from this period are celebrated for their precision and artistic sensitivity, and they reflect a deep appreciation for the natural world. "Great Mullein, Walberswick" is a testament to Mackintosh's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey the subtle beauty of his subjects.

The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for providing insight into Mackintosh's life and work during his time in England. It remains an important piece within the broader context of his oeuvre, illustrating the versatility of his talents and his enduring influence on the visual arts. "Great Mullein, Walberswick" is held in high regard by art historians and enthusiasts of Mackintosh's work and continues to be studied for its contribution to early 20th-century botanical illustration.
