This faithful reproduction features Crocus sativus, better known as saffron. The naturalistic plate displays the violet flower with its characteristic orange stigmas, accompanied by its green linear leaves. The precision of the line makes it possible to distinguish each floral organ with remarkable clarity.
Published in 1827 in the work Choix des plus belles fleurs, this illustration is signed Pierre-Joseph Redouté. It is part of a scientific documentation approach where aesthetics serve knowledge, reflecting the spirit of the great 19th-century botanical inventories.
This iconographic document is ideal to complement a collection of antique plates or to enrich a thematic decoration. It offers a precious testimony on the representation of medicinal and dye plants in the history of naturalistic art.
