John Everett Millais "Cherry Ripe" Chromolithograph

1900 - 1920

Sold by Sinclairs Antiques and Interiors

Description

Adorable Chromolithograph of Pears "Cherry Ripe" by Sir John Everett Millais . This charming picture depicts a little girl sitting on a log in period costume looking very angelic. Set in a white boarder with an oak frame with silver coloured slip. In good condition with a solid frame this is ready to hang on any wall.

The image presented here is a chromolithograph, in other words a colour lithograph (based on four colours – three primary colours and black – giving a full palette of tones) a printing method precursor to the offset printing process which largely replaced it from the 1930s onwards.

Once produced in large numbers, the paper support was nevertheless fragile, easily torn and sometimes even rolled up. Now there are very few examples left.
