The painting is called Citron and it's a watercolour from around 1640. It was part of a big collection of drawings and prints called the 'Paper Museum'. This collection was put together by Cassiano dal Pozzo, who was interested in the natural world and wanted to learn more about it. The collection includes many drawings of fruit and plants. You can learn more about this kind of art at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
