"Periwinkle Withered" is an illustration from the series "Les Fleurs Animées" by the French caricaturist and illustrator Jean-Jacques Grandville, whose real name was Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard. Grandville was renowned for his imaginative and satirical engravings, and "Les Fleurs Animées" is one of his most celebrated works, first published in 1847. This series is a collection of anthropomorphic floral illustrations, where flowers are given human characteristics and are depicted in various scenes that often serve as social commentaries.

In "Periwinkle Withered," Grandville presents the periwinkle flower in a state of decline, personified as a frail figure that reflects themes of fading beauty, mortality, and the transient nature of life. The illustration is imbued with the romantic and sometimes melancholic spirit characteristic of Grandville's later work. The periwinkle, known for its evergreen qualities and often associated with eternal love and memory in the language of flowers, is given a poignant twist in this depiction, as Grandville explores the contrast between the flower's symbolic meanings and its withered state.

"Les Fleurs Animées" was well-received in the 19th century, with its blend of fantasy, botany, and social satire. Grandville's work has been influential in the development of surrealism and fantasy art, and "Periwinkle Withered" is a notable example of his unique style and thematic preoccupations. The series continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its reflection of the cultural and social milieu of the time.
