Ixia, Milla, Blue Babiana, Exuberantly Watercolored Antique Botanical Print, Framed

Regular price $40.00

Since finding a few late 18th century Shaw & Nodder engravings that had been marvelously enhanced by a second round of hand-coloring at a slightly later date, I think I've been paying extra attention to how the hand-coloring of prints can transform them quite dramatically. This is not a notable print by any means, but the watercoloring on it, specifically that blue, is fantastic, and makes it feel much more like a painting that a print. Feels like spring and just a lovely little thing.

 7 3/4" x 5 3/4" framed, under glass, as found, good condition, color terrific.
