The Artwork
Created in 1923, this persimmon illustration reflects a time when botanical art played a vital role in cataloguing agricultural varieties for research and cultivation. Such images served as essential references for farmers, scientists, and horticulturists, ensuring reliable identification and preservation of plant diversity.
Beyond its practical function, the persimmon carries symbolic meaning—evoking autumn harvests and the richness of orchard life. This vintage print captures the intersection of scientific documentation and the everyday beauty found in nature's seasonal cycles.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features ripe persimmons suspended from a slender branch, surrounded by broad green leaves, all set against a crisp white background. Warm orange hues dominate the fruit, contrasted by fresh greens and subtle gradations of light and shadow that lend the subject a lifelike, tactile quality.
Newton’s naturalistic watercolor technique creates a sense of order and serenity, with ample negative space that highlights the fruit’s form. The overall mood is calm and luminous, making it an inviting choice for those seeking a vintage botanical persimmon print. For more inspiration, explore our botanical prints.
