Lanssat, een Javaanse vrucht Possibly 1785

"Lanssat, een Javaanse vrucht" (Lanssat, a Javanese fruit) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, created sometime around 1785. The painting depicts a cluster of the tropical fruit, _Lansium domesticum_, native to Southeast Asia, also known as longkong. The painting is rendered in a meticulous and realistic style characteristic of botanical illustration, capturing the fruit's detailed form and coloration. This piece is a prime example of Brandes's detailed botanical work, produced in the 18th century during a period when natural history was of significant interest to European audiences.
