Flora Scottish Female Illustrator Glasgow Girls Pre-Raphaelites
-
Description
Annie French was part of the Glasgow Girls group of artists and illustrators who worked in a delicate, feminine, and detailed Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite style. This work, "Flora," is masterfully rendered and decorated with sumptuous floral patterns in the most detailed way. It is signed twice in the upper right quadrant. The mat has a hand-painted decorative border. The work presents better in person, and the viewer can marvel at the minute detail.
The Video is overexposed and light and not representative of color. Use still images for value and color.
Framed under glass - 16 3/4 x 15 in.
