This is a hand-colored engraving from the 19th century, with dimensions of 12" x 15". The artwork, signed "P.J. Redouté" and "Langlois," depicts a bouquet of two different types of roses. A vibrant yellow rose is featured prominently, surrounded by several delicate pale pink roses and buds. The leaves and stems are rendered with botanical accuracy. The title below the image, "Variété de Rose gallica et de la Rose de Bengal," identifies the specific species of roses shown. The detail and scientific precision suggest it is from a botanical collection, likely a part of a larger series of flower illustrations by the famous artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. The print is presented with a large, un-matted border, showing its age and historical context.
