About this artwork

This botanical plate shows one scarlet oak leaf set beside a twig bearing three acorns. It is an engraving finished with hand colouring, and it is numbered Plate 25 and captioned with both the common name and the Latin name, Quercus coccinea. The plate belongs to a group of illustrations connected with the North American Sylva. Bessa was a French natural history artist known for botanical work, and the plate's simple arrangement lets the leaf's shape and the form of the acorns take centre stage.

On your wall: Its simple botanical subject suits studies, hallways, dining rooms and reading corners, especially in calm interiors where a quiet nature study can sit comfortably.

About Pancrace Bessa

Pancrace Bessa was a French natural history artist, best known for his botanical illustrations. He studied under Gerard van Spaendonck and worked alongside Pierre-Joseph Redouté, whose influence can be felt in the detailed, delicate way Bessa treated his subjects. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salons between 1806 and 1831.
