This illustration features the Late Chevreuse Peach, a remarkable variety known for its spectacular transformation: its fruits, initially elongated and hairy, suddenly round out in September to reveal a radiant beauty.
The ripe fruit, tinged with bright red and purple in the sun, offers a melting white flesh with sweet and vinous aromas reminiscent of the prestigious Madeleine de Courson.
Taken from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (Treatise on Fruit Trees), this plate combines the precision of scientific drawing with an artistic sensibility characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
