A beautiful watercolour on vellum by the greatest flower painter of all time.

Belgian born Redouté (1759-1840) achieved success as a painter working for the French royal court as a tutor to Marie Antoinette and later from 1798 was appointed to paint the flowers of Malmaison by Josephine Bonaparte. His famous published works include 'Les Liliacées' and 'Les Roses'.

A fine example of Redoute's art, showing his delicacy and natural softness, a round and rich white rose together with two smaller specimens and four light red flowers.
