Print by the French botanical artist Elisa Honorine Champin featuring a variety of roses along with other flowers in a ribbon-tied bouquet, a moth approaching from the upper right. The composition is decorative in its arrangements of vividly-colored flowers.\u00a0 At the same time, as the title suggests, the artist accurately portrays the plants from a scientific perspective, achieved by skillful shading and the naturalistic, informal positioning of the flowers.<\/p>\n
