EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century sketch, titled Sketch 15, is a captivating representation of Ficus carica L., commonly known as the Common Fig or the Fig tree. The drawing is part of a collection of original works by the renowned botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). Housed in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, this masterpiece showcases Ehret's exceptional talent in capturing the intricate details of this flowering plant from the Moraceae family, which is an order of angiosperms, or flowering plants. Ficus carica is a deciduous tree or large shrub, native to southwestern Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Its leaves are simple, broadly ovate, and have a distinctive serrated margin. The tree bears edible figs, which are actually an inverted inflorescence, meaning that the flowers are enclosed in a receptacle that forms a hollow fig. The figs develop from the base of the tree and ripen from the outside in. Ehret's meticulous sketch illustrates the fig tree in all its glory, with its large, lobed leaves, intricate inflorescence, and the ripe figs with their distinctive brown, scaly exterior. As a member of the Rosales order, the Rosid clade of the eudicots, and the Fabaceae superfamily, Ficus carica is an essential addition to the study of botany and plant taxonomy. This stunning artwork not only serves as a testament to Ehret's artistic prowess but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the scientific exploration of the natural world during the 18th century.
