This botanical illustration celebrates the fleshy currant, a singular 19th-century variety whose pale pink hue fascinated collectors of rare specimens.
Low-yielding and reserved for the gardens of enthusiasts, this currant was distinguished by its delicate chromatic rather than its productivity, bearing witness to the fruit diversity cultivated at the time.
Extracted from Pierre-Antoine Poiteau's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, this plate combines scientific precision and artistic sensitivity characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
