"Muskusroos" (Musk Rose), a 1617 etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicts a detailed and delicate study of a rose branch. The artwork showcases van de Passe's mastery of line and detail, capturing the intricate texture of the leaves and the delicate beauty of the roses. The image, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the artistic and scientific fascination with the natural world during the Renaissance.
