A large illustrated botanical plate depicting a variety of large-flowered clematis, from the Floral Documents series by Henry Lambert. The composition highlights the plant in an elegant tangle of stems, leaves, and open flowers, rendered with great naturalistic finesse. The mauve and violet tones, combined with precise and fluid drawing, are characteristic of decorative botanical plates produced at the turn of the 20th century, intended for both scientific and ornamental purposes.
