Godefroy Engelmann

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a colorful botanical illustration of a plant with large green leaves and several flowers. The plant has large green leaves with wavy edges. There are several flowers on the plant. The flowers are white, pink, and yellow. The white flowers have long, curved protrusions that resemble horns or a horn-like shape. Some of the flowers are in full bloom, while others are still budding. The background of the image is off-white, and there is some cursive writing in the bottom-left corner. The image appears to be a page from a book.
