This botanical illustration, created between 1635 and 1664 by Danish artist Hans Simon Holtzbecker, showcases the delicate beauty of three types of geraniums: Geranium pratense, Geranium phaeum, and Geranium versicolor. The watercolor painting captures the vibrant hues of these flowers with precise detail, revealing Holtzbecker's skill as a botanical artist. This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the scientific and artistic interest in plant life during the 17th century.
