Pen and ink on paper
235 × 176 cm

Meticulously rendered fruits, vegetables, and botanical forms fill the page in graphite and ink, each specimen captured with scientific precision. Leonardo's obsessive study of natural forms reveals his dual identity as both artist and natural philosopher, merging aesthetic beauty with anatomical investigation.
