Henry Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a plant with a brown stem and roots, and green leaves. The plant has two flowers at the top with yellow bodies, and brown and green petals. The flowers have a distinctive shape, with the petals resembling a pouch or a slipper. There are two large green leaves on either side of the stem, and several smaller leaves and brown bracts near the flowers. The background of the image is a light beige color. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Cypripedium Calceolus" and "Tableau Des Alpes" in cursive script.
