Printed with the Squash from Volume II of the 1st Duchess of Beaufort’s florilegium
In 1703, Mary Somerset, first Duchess of Beaufort, commissioned Everard Kik, a Dutch botanical artist, to create a series of paintings. These showcased the extraordinary variety of plants she had grown from seeds sent to her from all over the world. They later bound the final collection of 178 paintings into a two-volume album, a “florilegium.” Badminton House holds the album, where Mary lived and grew many of her plants.
This painting of a gourd (identity not confirmed) has a similar composition to the sunflower painting, with its arrangement of a close-up of the plant and one large leaf specimen positioned diagonally behind (although there is also a brown autumnal leaf added to this image, which adds balance to the composition but may not be botanically accurate).
