"Bladeren van drie soorten streepvarens" (Leaves of Three Kinds of Striped Ferns) is a botanical illustration by Sydney Courtauld, created before 1877. This detailed black-and-white drawing depicts three different fern species with delicate, feathery fronds. The image is from a botanical book showcasing the intricate morphology of ferns, emphasizing their distinct forms and characteristics.
