This vintage-style botanical illustration depicts Centaurea cyanus-the common cornflower-with precise linework capturing the layered phyllaries, star-shaped outer florets, and dense central disc. The drawing emphasizes anatomical accuracy typical of 19th-century botanical plates, including stippled shading for texture and depth. The stem shows subtle striations and a developing bud below the inflorescence.
