EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Hawthorn, Crataegus species, with beetle and butterfly," is a stunning example of the intricate detail and beauty found in the Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses. Dating back to 1776, this work of art showcases the Hawthorn plant, a member of the Crataegus species, adorned with both a beetle and a butterfly. The delicate petals of the double-flowered Laubepine rouge, or red hawthorn, are expertly rendered in vibrant colors, contrasting beautifully with the rich, earthy tones of the beetle and the ethereal wings of the butterfly. The Hawthorn tree, native to Europe and Asia, is known for its thorny shrubs and white or pink flowers that bloom in late spring. In this etching, the plant is depicted in full bloom, its branches laden with the double-petaled flowers that give way to bright red berries in the fall. The inclusion of the beetle and butterfly adds an element of natural wonder to the scene, highlighting the interconnectedness of various species within the natural world. The meticulous craftsmanship of this hand-colored etching is evident in the intricate details of the Hawthorn leaves, the textured exoskeleton of the beetle, and the delicate wings of the butterfly. The artistry of Pierre Joseph Buchoz and his team is truly on display in this work, which continues to captivate and inspire viewers over two centuries after its creation.
