A companion to Plate 15, this second Gourd composition explores the same plant through a different visual logic. While the botanical study remains consistent, the ornamentation diverges — emphasizing asymmetry, contrast, and a playful yet sophisticated energy.

Its earthy character and connection to transformation make this plate ideal for warm interiors and naturalist themes.
