About This Item
United Kingdom, 2002. Painting. Illus. by Ann Smith. Fine. No Binding. Original. 640 x 290 mm. A fine, large, framed and glazed, original botanical watercolour painting of Camassia leichtlinii, 640 x 290 mm [frame 750 x 395 mm] with a double, white, acid-free, conservation mount, and subtle, clean-lined solid wood frame with a semi-translucent soft white finish. A fine watercolour painting by the late botanical artist Ann Smith, signed and dated 2002, featuring one tulip species and three tulip cultivars, with details of their flora parts. The frame is very slightly marked, otherwise in excellent condition, ready to hang. [Artist's biography: Ann Smith was a goldsmith by trade, a highly skilled artisan working out of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, but with a passion for botanical illustration. She was a member of various botanical art societies; she exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Botanical Art exhibitions held in The Lindley Hall, London; for the 2004 exhibition she prepared a mixed collection of botanical works including studies of Romneya coulteri and Papaver orientalis 'Beauty of Livermere', in a later exhibition she presented a themed collection featuring various Meconopsis (blue popy) species and cultivars. Ann Smith was an accomplished botanical artist who painted with great fidelity, her plants morphologically accurate and finely detailed, but her paintings are always well composed and perhaps it is this, her strong sense of composition, that is her greatest quality.] We now hold a a significant stock so please enquire if you are looking for particular botanical illustrations. Shipping cost will require an adjustment..
