Ballota Suaveolens – Antique Botanical Illustration

This antique botanical illustration presents Ballota suaveolens as an elegant upright specimen, with branching stems, richly veined serrated foliage and delicate pink-purple flowers. Enlarged floral studies accompany the main plant, highlighting the careful scientific observation behind the original botanical artwork.

Warm olive and ochre foliage contrasts beautifully with the subtle mauve flowers and naturally aged cream ground. Fine outlines, visible botanical structure and the original handwritten identification give the composition the authentic character of a historic natural-history plate.
