Set against the backdrop of lush greenery and a serene lake, this artwork beautifully blends elements of nature with the innocence and curiosity embodied by children during that era. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to the scene while highlighting the natural beauty surrounding the young archer. This print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical artistry and scientific exploration prevalent in late eighteenth-century Europe. It serves as a testament to Reinagle's mastery as an illustrator and his ability to bring life to Thornton's botanical work. With its timeless appeal, "And then divine Linnaeus" continues to captivate audiences today through its intricate details and harmonious composition.
