Numbered in the top right corner as 167, this artwork is part of an album containing drawings of various animals, birds, and plants known during Emperor Rudolf II's reign around 1600. Commissioned by the emperor himself, these albums were meticulously created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610. The detailed drawing includes labels in Dutch, Latin, and French languages providing information about the subject matter. This particular piece highlights not only its common names such as "Saffraes" or "Autumn crocus" but also mentions other names like "hermodactels tijeless" or "mort au Chien".
