Om værket
This was one of the 44 illustrations Ehret contributed to Hortus Nitidissimus (1750-92), a publication devoted to garden plants by the German physician and botanist Dr Christoph Jakob Trew (1695-1769) of Nuremburg. This was essentially a florilegium celebrating the beauties of flowering plants, and without any higher scientific purpose, as the subtitle asserts: 'The flower-garden in finest bloom throughout the year, or pictures of the most beautiful flowers.' This would explain the peculiarly exaggerated decorative character of the portrait, with its stylized rococo sinuosity.
