"Tijn", a botanical illustration by Willem Wenckebach, depicts a sprig of thyme with delicate blossoms. The artist, known for his detailed drawings of flora, captures the plant's intricate structure with precise lines against a light background. Created before 1893, this small drawing exemplifies the meticulousness of botanical illustration, a genre that blends scientific accuracy with artistic beauty. Now in the Rijksmuseum, it offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with nature and his skillful representation of its details.
