About the piece
Dating to approximately 1650, this masterfully executed gouache by Hans Simon Holtzbecker serves as both a scientific record and a work of art. The plate meticulously details several narcissus species, including Narcissus tazetta and Corbularia bulbocodium, showcasing the artist's ability to capture the delicate translucency of petals alongside the earthy texture of bulbs and roots.
