EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century botanical drawing by Robert Jacob Gordon depicts the vibrant and intricately detailed Ixia viridiflora, also known as the Turquoise Ixia or Blue Ixia. The drawing was created between the years 1777 and 1786, during the Dutch colonial period in South Africa. Gordon, a Dutch artist, meticulously captured the essence of this South African native plant in this chalk and pencil drawing on paper. The Ixia viridiflora is a member of the Iridaceae family, and is characterized by its unique tuberous roots and bright blue, star-shaped flowers. The drawing showcases not only the delicate petals and sepals of the flower, but also the intricate details of the stem and leaves. The drawing is a testament to the European fascination with the natural wonders of the African continent during the Age of Discovery. It is believed that Gordon made this drawing as part of a botanical sketchbook or study during his time in South Africa. The use of chalk, pencil, and watercolour paint adds to the richness and depth of the drawing, bringing the Ixia viridiflora to life. This beautiful drawing is now part of the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, a renowned European museum dedicated to art and history. The Ixia viridiflora drawing serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical art played in the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th century. Its intricate details and stunning colors continue to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
