EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of Tagetes patula (also known as marigold) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum), beautifully captured on a leaf numbered by hand 20.

Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II, this twelfth of twelve albums features watercolors depicting animals, birds, and plants that were well-known around 1600. The composition portrays the vibrant colors and delicate forms of these botanical specimens with remarkable precision. The tagetes flowers stand out with their radiant orange petals surrounding a dark center, while the chickpea pods add contrasting shades of green to the arrangement.
