Reine Claude Plum is a 1827 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows three plums hanging from a branch with green leaves. The plums are smooth, with a mix of yellow and red skin, and the leaves look fresh and detailed. The background is plain white, so the focus stays on the fruit and leaves. The name at the bottom, *Reine Claude franche*, is the type of plum shown. Redouté was known for making plants and fruit look incredibly real. Next, check out Henry Joseph Redouté (French, 1766–1853) for more of his precise plant drawings.
