This is a still life watercolour by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. It shows fruit including a lemon. Painted around 1560–1575, it’s part of a set of 59 botanical images. The sheets were bound in fine leather. A Paris watermark dates them after 1568. Le Moyne fled France for England during religious unrest. Look up the artist Le Moyne de Morgues, Jacques.
