Bursera Gummifera — Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin

Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin’s Bursera gummifera presents a leafy botanical specimen with a strong, balanced structure. A central brown-green stem divides into slender reddish branches supporting broad olive leaves, each carefully described through an intricate network of dark veins. Small emerging leaves at the crown introduce a delicate contrast to the larger mature foliage.

The specimen is surrounded by an expansive warm cream field, giving the botanical forms a quiet and distinctly graphic presence. Separate details near the lower right record a reddish-brown fruit and a minute floral element. Numbered plate 96, the work combines careful natural-history observation with the restrained color and spacious presentation characteristic of historical botanical illustration.
