Watercolor 19th French school flowers hollyhocks large Academic

1857

About the Item

French school of the mid-19th century Watercolor 51 x 37 cm (69 x 55 cm with frame) Signed and dated at the bottom “M. C. / 1857” The hollyhock comes from China, passing through Syria, from where it was brought to us at the time of the Crusades. With its stems of seven to nine feet, the large number of white, pink and red flowers with which it adorns its tall stem and its numerous flowers from July to September, this flower has been considered a symbol of fertility. The Chinese represent Nature crowned with her flowers.

  • Watercolor British school 19thcentury Diamond jubilee Portrait Queen Victoria
    Located in PARIS, FR
    English school from the end of the 19th century Watercolor and gouache 38 x 28 cm (60x49 cm with the frame) Very beautiful late 19th century frame in pitch pine wood. Very good condition This watercolor was made for the diamond "jubilee" in 1897 of Queen Victoria, crowned on the 20 June 1837 Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. She was also Queen of Canada from 1867 and Empress of India from 1876. This watercolor represents two portraits of the Queen, one in 1837 and the other in 1897, as well as a beautiful diamond which reminds of the famous Indian diamond the Koh-i-Nor which was presented in 1850 to Queen Victoria, for the 250th anniversary of the English East India Company, and cut and mounted on a tiara with two thousand other diamonds in 1852. We also recognize in this watercolor the insignia of the Order of the Star of India...
