Framboisier a Fruit rouge (Raspberries) 1807 - 1835

"Framboisier a Fruit rouge (Raspberries)" is a botanical illustration, likely from a larger series, created by an anonymous artist between 1807 and 1835. This hand-colored print, now at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a raspberry bush with detailed leaves and ripe red berries. The meticulous detail and realistic depiction are characteristic of botanical illustration, a genre that emerged in the 16th century to document and study plant life. The artwork's title and the small size of the plate suggest it was likely intended for a book or collection of scientific illustrations.
