The grace of nature comes alive in this beautiful botanical rendering of the Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium / Lis de Chine), depicting the exquisite skill of Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Famous for his work done on behalf of royalty including Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine, the talent of Redouté is evident in his stipple engraving method.This stunning reproduction depicts the distinctive recurved orange petals, chocolate brown spots, and long stamen of the Tiger Lily flower. The ultimate balance of artistic perfection and botanical science, the plate from the book “Les Liliacées” stands alone as an 19th century masterpiece.
