EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century botanical drawing depicts the unique and intriguing Pachypodium Namaquanum, also known as the Half-man or Halfmens, by Dutch artist Robert Jacob Gordon. The image, created between 1778 and 1786, is a meticulous study of the plant's closed flower and leaf. The drawing was likely executed in the artist's sketchbook, using chalk, pencil, and possibly watercolor. Gordon's detailed observation captures the distinct textures and shapes of the Half-man's spiny features, which earned it its unusual nickname. The plant, native to South Africa, is part of the succulent family and is characterized by its swollen, fleshy stem and unique spiny projections. The Half-man's closed flower is shown in vibrant red, contrasting against the muted tones of the closed leaf. The drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the African continent during the 18th century, showcasing the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the time. This rare and exquisite botanical drawing is a testament to the rich heritage of natural history art and the enduring beauty of the natural world. It is currently housed in the esteemed Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, a fitting home for this important piece of European and African art and scientific history.
