Painting Description
Cattleya mossiae is an illustration classified under the Orchidaceae (the orchid family) by Augusta Innes Withers, a well-renowned botanical artist during the 19th century. The drawing titled 'Cattleya mossiae' is an epitome of Withers' precise details and vibrant use of color. Named after William Moss, an English grower, the illustration accurately delineates the exotic Cattleya mossiae orchid that he popularized.
The drawing exhibits the signature traits of the Cattleya mossiae, also known as Easter Orchid, showing its characteristic inflorescence with a cluster of large, trumpet-shaped, rosy-purple flowers. It also captures the distinguishing elements such as the narrow, clavate pseudobulbs and the long, leathery leaves in the utmost detail, truly embodying the natural beauty of this native Venezuelan orchid.
Augusta Innes Withers, also known as 'A.I. Withers,' served as the Flower Painter in Ordinary to Queen Adelaide, demonstrating her distinguished caliber with intricate botanical illustrations. Her work significantly contributed to the Victorian era's orchid mania, bringing not only the Cattleya mossiae but a wide range of orchid species to public attention. This introduction not only showcases an individual piece of art but also recognizes Augusta Innes Withers's remarkable contribution to botanical illustrations in the 19th century.
