More about this artwork

This painting by William Rickatson Dykes is a beautiful botanical illustration that features four different varieties of the Iris flower. Each variety is depicted with a high level of detail and precision, highlighting the unique characteristics of each type.1. **Iris histrioides**: This flower is depicted with light purple petals and distinctive yellow and white patterning on the "falls" — the lower petals of the iris. Its slender green stem and graceful form give it an elegant appearance.2. **Iris histrio**: This variety is shown with darker purple petals which are almost blue in hue, and it has similar yellow and white markings on the falls. The darker coloration stands out distinctly against the white background.3. **Iris histrio var. atropurpurea**: This variant is markedly different in color with its deep purple, nearly black petals that make it quite dramatic. The stark contrast with the other varieties emphasizes its unique beauty.4. **Iris histrio**: This depiction shows a variation in the posture and open form of the Iris histrio. The petals have a mix of deep blue and purple, with intricate yellow and white detailing on the falls, similar to the second illustration but with slight differences in shape and stance.William Rickatson Dykes was known for his detailed and scientifically accurate botanical illustrations. His work not only captures the beauty of the flowers but also serves as a valuable scientific record.
