The six documented works by the artist in private hands are exquisite gouaches which embody and combine in a most original manner three diverse artistic traditions: the first is that of manuscript illumination in Le Moyne's native France; the second is the recording of exotic and native flora, fauna and cultures, which was the artistic expression of the late sixteenth-century fascination with exploration and scientific investigation; and the third is the purely aesthetic love of flowers and gardens which was so apparent in Elizabethan court culture.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aradergalleries.com/artist.php?id=60 |title=Lemoyne De Morgues, Jacques |publisher=Aradergalleries.com |date= |accessdate=2012-11-18 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120406060457/http://www.aradergalleries.com/artist.php?id=60 |archivedate=2012-04-06 |df= }}</ref> Le Moyne's work represents a transition from the medieval focus on the religious symbolism of plants in art to a Renaissance emphasis on scientific inquiry and beauty when creating botanical illustration.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/364533|title=Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues {{!}} A Sheet of Studies of Flowers: A Rose, a Heartsease, a Sweet Pea, a Garden Pea, and a Lax-flowered Orchid {{!}} The Met|website=The Metropolitan Museum of Art, i.e. The Met Museum|access-date=2017-06-30}}</ref>
The most extravagant and exquisitely wrought of all Le Moyne's floral works are the six miniature-like gouaches from the Korner collection. Purchased as the work of an anonymous Netherlandish artist of circa 1600, their authorship was recognized by art historians Dr. Rosy Schilling and Mr. Paul Hutton, by comparison with the drawings by Le Moyne in the British Museum. These are generally similar in conception to the watercolors in the British Museum, and must also date from around 1585.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/lot.17.html/2006/old-master-drawings-l06040|title=le moyne de morgues, {{!}}{{!}}{{!}} old master drawings {{!}}{{!}}{{!}} sotheby's l06040lot3cxknen|website=www.sothebys.com|language=en|access-date=2017-01-25}}</ref>
