This watercolor shows two fruits side by side. Done in fine detail, it was meant for artists and crafters. Le Moyne used bright color to show each fruit’s shape and texture. Such studies helped jewelers and embroiderers copy nature exactly. The artist also traveled with explorers to the Americas. These drawings let makers bring fresh ideas to their work. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of his pieces.
