This illustration showcases the redcurrant bush in its complete botanical structure, featuring its translucent, vibrant red berries arranged in characteristic hanging clusters.
The detailed study reveals the unique anatomy of this shrub: its five-lobed serrated leaves, its pale pink melting flesh containing 3 to 4 seeds, and the remarkable architecture of its branches with four superimposed layers of bark.
Taken from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835), this plate combines the precision of scientific drawing with the artistic sensibility characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
