Walnootboom en akkerwinde 1617

This intricate engraving, "Walnootboom en akkerwinde," was created by Crispijn van de Passe (II) in 1617. It showcases two botanical specimens: a walnut tree laden with fruit and a climbing plant, possibly a bindweed. The delicate details of the leaves, the intricate structure of the walnuts, and the elegant curves of the climbing plant highlight the artist's precise skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world. This is a testament to the scientific and artistic fascination with plants during the 17th century. This artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
