"Agave americana (almindelig agave)" is a botanical illustration by Danish painter Hans Simon Holtzbecker, created between 1649 and 1659. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a detailed depiction of an agave plant, characterized by its spiky, fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette. The painting's realism reflects the influence of the scientific botanical illustrations prevalent during the 17th century.
