Les Liliacées: Tradescantia discolor is a 1809 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a plant with long, pointed leaves that are green on the outside and purple on the inside. The leaves are arranged in a fan shape, with some of them overlapping each other. In the center of the plant, there is a small white flower with three petals. The plant is set against a plain background, which helps to highlight its details. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
