About the work
This drawing belongs to an album of 59 botanical watercolours on paper attributed to the Huguenot artist Jacques Lemoyne de Morgues (1533-88). Some of the pages are double-sided like the present one. Dated around 1575, the present work shows a cyclamen on the recto and a common borage on the verso. Although Lemoyne has long been considered as an obscure artist providing designs for simple woodcuts, his botanical watercolours, which were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century, have earned him a place in history as one of the most remarkable early botanical painters.
