Calophyllum Calaba — Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin

This late 18th-century botanical study depicts Calophyllum Calaba as a slender flowering branch surrounded by broad oval leaves. Mustard, ochre, and olive tones define the foliage, while dark central veins and fine linear markings create a strong graphic rhythm across each leaf.

Small pale flowers with orange centers emerge on delicate stems beside the central branch, while two isolated fruits appear below in olive green and soft orange-pink. Surrounded by generous cream-colored space, the specimen has the precise yet restrained character of historical natural-history illustration.
