"Pineapple or Bromelia" is a botanical illustration from the collection titled "Drawings of Plants from Malacca," which dates back to the period between 1805 and 1818. The artist behind this collection remains anonymous, but the work is significant for its detailed depiction of the flora from the Malacca region, which is part of present-day Malaysia. The illustration captures the tropical essence and botanical intricacies of the pineapple plant or a species of the Bromeliaceae family, which the pineapple belongs to.

The artwork is part of a larger corpus of botanical illustrations that were created during a time when European powers were deeply interested in cataloging and studying the natural world, often in the context of their colonial enterprises. These drawings were not only scientific records but also works of art that reflected the fascination with exotic plants encountered in the colonies. The "Drawings of Plants from Malacca" serve as a historical record of the biodiversity of the Malacca region and are an example of the intersection between art, science, and the history of colonialism.

The "Pineapple or Bromelia" illustration is particularly noted for its attention to detail, with the artist meticulously rendering the plant's texture, form, and coloration. Such illustrations were crucial for the study and classification of plant species and were often used by botanists to identify and describe new species. The collection to which this illustration belongs is an important resource for historians of botany, art historians, and those interested in the cultural and scientific exchanges between Europe and Southeast Asia during the early 19th century.
