EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, created in the late 17th century by the Dutch botanical artist Alida Withoos (c.1660-1715), showcases the intricate beauty of a Mesembryanthemum flower, a member of the Aizoaceae family and the order Caryophyllales. Withoos, one of the few known women botanical artists of her time, masterfully captured the delicate details of this eudicot, or advanced dicotyledon, which is also known as a fig marigold or pink. The Mesembryanthemum, native to South Africa, is a succulent plant that thrives in arid conditions. In this painting, Withoos expertly renders the vibrant pink petals, the intricate veining on the leaves, and the subtle details of the flower's reproductive structures. The artist's skillful use of watercolor techniques brings the flower to life, creating a stunning and realistic representation that transports the viewer to the natural world. This painting is an invaluable addition to the history of botanical art and serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 17th century. Withoos' work, along with that of her contemporaries, contributed significantly to the advancement of botanical knowledge during the Age of Discovery, as European explorers and naturalists sought to document and understand the diverse flora of the New World and beyond. The Library and Archives is proud to hold this beautiful and historic work, which continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world and the artistry of those who sought to capture its essence.
