The illustration shows a carefully arranged selection of classic vegetable kitchen spices, depicted in the style of historical botanical illustrations. Each spice - from garlic and oregano to rosemary and artichokes - is painted in great detail and true to life, with fine lines and delicate watercolours, as found in old herb books from the 18th or 19th century.
The plants are arranged individually on cream-coloured, slightly yellowed paper, with their Latin names noted underneath in elegant handwriting. Small annotations in the margins are reminiscent of the scientific descriptions in a botanical atlas. The illustration conveys the charm of times gone by and invites you to rediscover the diversity and beauty of culinary herbs.
The vintage style of the illustration emphasises the connection between natural history and the art of cooking: the spices appear not just as ingredients, but as botanical treasures whose history and use have been preserved in old books. The composition looks like a page from a lovingly illustrated herb atlas - a window into the world of traditional botany and culinary culture.
