EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, numbered as Sketch 87 in the Ehret Collection of Unbound Sketches, showcases the intricate details of Rheum x rhabarbarum, commonly known as rhubarb. Dated back to the 18th century, this drawing was created by the renowned botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). The Natural History Museum in London is fortunate to hold this precious piece in its Botany Library. Rheum x rhabarbarum, a member of the Polygonaceae family and the order Caryophyllales, is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the eudicot group, angiosperms, and magnoliophytes. The plant is characterized by its large, green, glossy leaves, which are depicted in this sketch with remarkable accuracy. The leaves are petiolated, broad at the base, and tapering towards the apex, with a distinct midrib and parallel veins. The plant is also known for its edible stalks, which are often used as a fruit in various culinary applications. The sketch does not depict the stalks, but rather focuses on the leaves, providing a detailed and accurate representation of their structure. Ehret's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the leaf surface, the fine veins, and the subtle variations in shading. Ehret's sketch of Rheum x rhabarbarum is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable scientific record of this fascinating plant. His skillful depiction of the plant's anatomy and morphology continues to captivate and inspire botanists, artists, and collectors alike. This rare and precious sketch is a testament to Ehret's extraordinary talent and his significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration.
