Twee soorten fritillaria 1617

"Twee soorten fritillaria" is an etching by Crispijn van de Passe (II) depicting two types of fritillaria flowers. The image shows the plants in detail, including the flowers, leaves, stems, and even the bulbs. The fritillaria flower, also known as the "snake's head fritillary", has a checkered pattern on its bell-shaped flower. The artwork is a fine example of botanical illustration from the early 17th century. This print was part of a larger series of botanical illustrations and was likely used to help identify different species of plants. It is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
