The photo is definitely a Gingko bud. The botanic drawings on the artwork are not from a Gingko. The leaf drawing reminds me of a geranium leaf with an extremely long petiole. I don't understand a connection between any of the plant parts or the photo.
The writing on the lower left side "arida folia autumnis" is Latin for dried autumn leaves/leaf. All the writing on this drawing is in Latin. The writing on the right side/top "plant studium" translates to Plant Study. I can't read the spelling on the other words well enough to get a coherent interpretation.
