John William Lewin's Waratah telopea speciosissima 1803-08 is an early 19th-century artwork featuring the eponymous Australian shrub, the waratah. The artwork, crafted between 1803 and 1808, utilizes watercolor on paper to depict a waratah in full bloom.

Lewin was the first professional artist to visit the shores of Australia and throughout his tenure, he took special interest in illustrating and cataloging the unique flora and fauna of Australia. His work was instrumental in both scientific and artistic circles, providing accurate and detailed portrayals of previously unknown plant life to Europeans in the age of botanical discovery.

"Waratah telopea speciosissima 1803-08" remains a significant part of Lewin's botanical portfolio, showcasing his commitment to detail and aesthetic diligence. The importance of this painting lies not just in its aesthetic appeal, but also in its cultural significance, as the waratah has since become a national symbol of Australia.

The usage of detailed, precise line work and careful layering of watercolor in the painting speaks to Lewin's prowess as a botanical artist. His work served above all to document; hence, accuracy was paramount. However, his artistic skill is evident in the beauty of the composition and the vividly depicted waratah.
