His work, including the illustration of Ruta graveolens, reflects the meticulous observation and artistic skill that characterized the botanical art of the time.

The plant, known for its strong, aromatic scent and medicinal properties, is depicted with great attention to detail, showcasing the intricate structure of its leaves, flowers, and stems. This level of detail not only serves an aesthetic purpose but also provides valuable information for botanists and herbalists who relied on such illustrations for the identification and study of plants.

The illustration is part of a larger body of work by Le Moyne, who is also known for his depictions of the flora and fauna of the New World, particularly in Florida, where he accompanied the French expedition led by Jean Ribault in 1564. His botanical illustrations, including Ruta graveolens, were instrumental in documenting the biodiversity of the regions he explored and contributed to the broader European knowledge of exotic plants and their uses.
