This botanical illustration, by Manuel Blanco, depicts three varieties of Oryza sativa, commonly known as rice. The technique used, likely watercolor on paper, highlights the delicacy of the plants, from their roots to their grain spikes. The work dates from the 19th century, a period of great interest in the cataloging of plant species, and the title "Oryza sativa Blanco 1.102" suggests its inclusion in a herbarium or botanical compendium.
