About the Item
A set of four watercolours of butterflies on silk, applied to handmade paper, with hand cut edges, by French artist La Roche Laffitte. Two are signed by the artist to the bottom right, one to the centre bottom left and a fourth unsigned.
Four beautifully observed and detailed studies of butterflies painted in shades of pale blue, peach, brown, black and yellow on silk and applied to high quality hand-made paper. An extremely chic and elegant series of watercolours.
Each butterfly is also on sale individually at 1st Dibs.
This contemporary artist, born in 1943 specialises in watercolour studies on hand-made paper. With his highly detailed and precisely painted studies he invites us into the magical world of cultural objects, flora and fauna. The treasures of nature along with tribal regalia is his main inspiration. All of his work is beautifully observed and executed down to the smallest detail.
