"Rosa gallica versicolour" by Pieter Withoos is a botanical illustration depicting the Rosa Mundi, a variant of the species Rosa gallica, also known as the French rose or Gallic rose. Pieter Withoos (1654–1693) was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his detailed and realistic depictions of flora and fauna. This particular work exemplifies the artist's skill in botanical illustration, a genre that gained significant popularity during the 17th century in the Netherlands, partly due to the interest in botany and the collecting of exotic plants.

The illustration captures the distinctive striped pattern of the Rosa Mundi's petals, which are splashed with crimson and pale pink. Withoos's attention to detail not only showcases the beauty of the flower but also serves a scientific purpose, as botanical illustrations of this era often aimed to document plant species accurately for study and classification.

"Rosa gallica versicolour" reflects the confluence of art and science during the Dutch Golden Age, a period when the Netherlands was a hub of trade, science, and art. The work is representative of the naturalistic style of the time, where artists strove to depict their subjects with precision and lifelike detail. Withoos's painting would have been valuable both as an aesthetic object and as a reference for botanists and horticulturists.

As a notable work within the oeuvre of Pieter Withoos, "Rosa gallica versicolour" contributes to the understanding of botanical art history and the broader context of scientific illustration. It remains an important piece for study by art historians, botanists, and enthusiasts of the Dutch Golden Age.
