Bignonia Stans — Golden Trumpet Botanical Study

This striking eighteenth-century botanical plate depicts the historically named Bignonia stans, presenting a graceful branching specimen with finely serrated pinnate foliage and brilliant golden-yellow trumpet flowers. Slender olive and ochre leaflets spread outward across the warm cream ground, creating an airy botanical silhouette around the concentrated cluster of blossoms.

The open flowers feature rich yellow petals and fine reddish-brown markings within their trumpet-shaped throats, accompanied by elongated buds and delicate reproductive structures. The historical name Bignonia stans is retained from the original artwork; the species is now accepted botanically as Tecoma stans. The refined balance of vivid flowers, intricate foliage, and generous negative space gives this natural-history plate an especially decorative presence.
