Phytographia Curiosa: Lapathum Sativum Antiquorum

Abraham Munting

Cleveland Museum of Art

A plant with large green leaves and red flowers is centered on a beige background. The plant has a thick, brown stem and several branches with more leaves and flowers. Large leaves are oval-shaped with wavy edges, and some have darker green veins. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. Red flowers are small and clustered at the top of the stem. The background shows a landscape with a body of water, grass, and distant trees or buildings. Text at the bottom reads "Lapathum Sativum Antiquorum." Small, illegible text appears in the upper-right corner. The image has a vintage appearance with visible aging and wear.
