EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "La Caprier, Caper bush, Capparis spinosa, with Sphinx Moth," is a captivating illustration from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's precious and illuminated collection of the most beautiful and curious flowers that are cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens, published in Paris in 1776. The image showcases the Caper bush, Capparis spinosa, with its distinctive thorny stems and small, white flowers, intertwined with the delicate wings of a Sphinx moth. The intricate details of the plant's leaves and the moth's intricately patterned body are brought to life through the artful application of hand-applied color. The delicate balance between the prickly, robust Caper bush and the ethereal, graceful Sphinx moth creates a striking contrast and highlights the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This charming etching is not only a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also a reminder of the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that existed during the 18th century.
