Icones Plantarum Medicinalium: Dog Rose

Joseph Jacob Plenck

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an illustration of a flowering plant with green leaves and thorns. The plant's stem is green with thorns and has several branches. The leaves are green, oval-shaped, and have serrated edges. There are several flowers on the plant, some of which are pink with yellow centers and others are still budding. Some of the flowers have already bloomed and have five petals. The plant also has several red, oval-shaped seed pods. The background of the image is a light beige color. The text "ROSA CANINA L." and "Die Hundrose" is written in black cursive font at the bottom left of the image. The image appears to be an old illustration, possibly from a botanical book. The illustration is detailed and shows the plant from multiple angles. The plant's roots are not visible. The image has a small notation in the top-right corner. The image is framed by a thin border.
