About the Item
Toadflax 'Linaria Tristis' Botanical Illustration by Louis van Houtte, 19th Century
This botanical illustration features *Linaria tristis*, commonly known as Toadflax, a plant characterized by its striking yellow and maroon flowers.
The artwork, measuring approximately 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), is from the esteemed botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," created by Louis van Houtte, a prominent 19th-century Belgian horticulturist. Van Houtte's publications are renowned for their exquisite detail and the vibrant depiction of various plant species collected from different regions of the world.
The *Linaria tristis* depicted here is associated with the Mediterranean coast, indicated by the label "Côte méditerranéenne," suggesting its native habitat or cultivation area. The term "serre froide" implies that this plant is suited to cool greenhouse conditions, which mimic its natural environment.
The illustration highlights the plant's upright stems, adorned with clusters of small, bilabiate flowers, combining shades of yellow and deep maroon, making it visually appealing. The slender, lance-shaped leaves add to the delicate appearance of the plant.
This lithograph, produced using the lithography technique with original hand coloring, captures the vibrant hues and intricate details of the plant, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship of the period.
The print remains in excellent condition, with the colors still bright and the fine details of the flowers and foliage clearly defined, showcasing the meticulous artistry of Louis van Houtte and his commitment to botanical documentation.
