This painting shows a single plant with long, green leaves and tall flower spikes. The flowers are pale yellow-green, hanging in clusters. In the bottom corner, two small sketches show the flower’s inner parts and seed pods. The plant is labeled *Digitalis Lutea*—a type of foxglove—written at the bottom. The artist focused on every detail, from veins in the leaves to the shape of the buds. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more precise botanical illustrations like this.
