Choix des plus belles fleurs...plus beaux fruits: Grenade

Henry Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pomegranate plant with a large fruit, a flower, and leaves. The pomegranate fruit is large and round, with a reddish-brown skin that gradates to yellow at the top. It has a small, yellow, flower-like structure at the bottom. A stem with green leaves and a single red flower extends from the top of the fruit. The leaves are oval-shaped with pointed tips and have a smooth edge. The background of the image is a light beige color. There is cursive writing at the bottom of the image, with "Grenade" on the left and "Grenadier punica" on the right.
