ANTIQUE #SA457553

Superb Regency Botanical Watercolour

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Prometheus Antiques

A stunning example of botanical watercolour painting. The work shows examples of six varieties of Tulip with a butterfly in the corner for scale. The painting is directly taken from the famous ''Temple of Flora'' by Dr Robert Thornton and copied by a young lady named Charlotte, sadly her last name is missing from the work. The painting has only recently been framed and the colours are wonderful. The work has been mounted in a period gilt frame and on the reverse is backed in perspex so the labelling for the tulip varieties can be seen. The watercolour is in good condition but there is some minor staining and the loss of the bottom right corner. The frame has had some good quality restoration. The whole is a great and rare example of it''s type and has a wonderful period look. C.1820.
