This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Mullein, scientifically known as Verbascum Thapsus (Verbasco candidum mas). Created by the renowned botanical artist Leonhart Fuchs in 1542, this colored engraving is a true masterpiece from his notable work "De historia stirpium commentarii insignes" (Notable Commentaries on the History of Plants). The image provides an up-close view of a Mullein leaf, revealing its intricate details and delicate veins. The vertical composition highlights the plant's elegant form and emphasizes its importance in the field of botany.
