It is done by Henry (Henri) Lambert. Lambert created large decorative botanicals that were used as reference for designers, artists and engravers. His work was executed with botanic accuracy and beauty. Lambert also worked in the Sevres porcelain industry where his work on porcelain reflected his influence of flowering botanicals on ceramics. Today his work is auctioned at art galleries throughout the world. This botanical features tulips and daffodils. The chromolithograph is done in a soft palette of yellow, white, pale pink, green and taupe tan tones. There is a very beautiful quality to the work. The vibrancy of the antique botanical is quite rare! Note too the intricate detail and beautifully designed forms. RARE to find in excellent antique condition and in large size. Numbered and signed in stone by the artist. 11.25 x 17. inches. Comes matted in a white 18 x 24 custom mat. Please see other botanicals from this series in our shop. less
