The natural specimen is displayed in full relief, revealing the intricate structure of the bloom, radiating bracts, and serrated leaves from all angles. The substantial rectangular form functions equally as a botanical sculpture or decorative object.

Giraudon's innovative works transformed humble natural specimens into striking modernist display pieces, combining scientific curiosity with the decorative sensibilities of the mid-century era. The preservation of the plant within a transparent medium creates a compelling interplay of light, depth, and shadow, while emphasizing the sculptural qualities of the thistle. 11.5"H See less
