About the piece
Created around 1650 by Hans Simon Holtzbecker, this masterful botanical study in gouache on parchment captures the delicate textures of Senecio bicolor. Known for its distinct silvery-green lobed leaves and bright yellow blossoms, the plant is rendered with the exceptional scientific precision and artistic grace characteristic of the Baroque period.
