Planten 1828

"Planten" is a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist Anthonie Willem Hendrik Nolthenius de Man, completed in 1828. This small-scale work, measuring only 50 mm in height and 91 mm in width, captures the intricate beauty of a cluster of plants. De Man, known for his botanical illustrations, meticulously renders the leaves and stems with delicate lines and subtle shading, creating a realistic and almost three-dimensional effect. The drawing is a testament to De Man's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the natural world with precision and artistry.
