This exquisite watercolor print, created by Delahaye in 1789, captures the delicate beauty of the Moonflower or Moon vine (Ipomoea Alba). Set against a pristine white background, this botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of this enchanting plant. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life every element of the flower, from its lush green leaves and slender stem to its captivating flower head. The image is part of an 18th-century herbal book titled "Florindie ou Historie physico-economique des vegetaux de la Torride". It exemplifies the artistry and scientific precision that characterized botanical illustrations during this period. The freshness and vitality of the Moonflower are captured with remarkable accuracy, highlighting its significance as a subject for study and admiration. Displayed within a decorative border adorned with handwritten text, this painting serves as both a work of art and an educational tool.
