Les Roses: Rosa Gallica

Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

A botanical illustration of a pink rose with green leaves. The rose has a large flower in full bloom, pink with hints of white and yellow stamens. Three rosebuds are attached to the same stem; one fully open and two not yet opened. The stem is green with thorns. Seven green leaves are attached to the stem. Two lines of cursive writing are at the bottom; the left line reads "Rosa Gallica officinalis" and the right line reads "Rosier de Provins ordinaire". The background is a light beige color.
