Les Liliacées: Scilla amaena

Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant. The plant has a bulb at the base with long, thin white roots extending from it. The bulb is connected to several long green leaves. There are several flower stems with blue and purple flowers. Some flowers are closed, some are fully open with six petals, and some are in bud. The background of the image is light beige. The text at the bottom reads "Scilla Amaena" on the left, and "Scille Agréable" on the right, both in cursive. The image appears to be hand-drawn and colored. The style is detailed and realistic. The overall effect is elegant and refined.
