The richness of the yellow petals, captured with immaculate precision, contrasts beautifully against the deep green of the leaves, lending the composition both depth and vivacity. The texture of the petals and leaves is so finely rendered that one can almost feel their smoothness and the delicate veins running through them.Redouté’s work not only serves as a visual feast but also an important scientific record, documenting the characteristics of the flora during his time. "Choix des plus belles fleurs pl 096" is more than art; it is a historical piece that bridges the gap between science and aesthetics, making it a precious addition to any collection.
