Orchideae Venusblumen Print by Ernst Haeckel

This botanical print reproduces Tafel 74 from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur, published in 1904. A dense arrangement of slipper orchids unfolds in white, blush pink, burgundy, yellow, and green, with each bloom shown through the curling petals and pouch-like forms that make the family so distinctive.

The composition combines careful botanical observation with the lush, theatrical symmetry of a period floral study.
