La Roche LaffitteBotanical Studies, Watercolours on Silk on Handmade Paper, Set of Three Tulips.
About the Item
A set of three fine hand painted botanical watercolour studies on silk of tulips by La Roche Laffitte. The works are signed bottom right. Some are titled and numbered (see photos) The silk has been mounted on handmade paper with a gilt framing line and has hand finished edges.
Three beautiful yet simple paintings of wonderfully colourful tulips executed with great precision and detail.
One of the tulips is titled 'Tulipe Jaspée' and includes a study of a snail on the leaf. Laffitte has captured all the beauty of the flowers as well as the rigidity of the leaf and flower. A charming set of three to grace any interior.
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.

- African Ngil Mask. Watercolour on Handmade Paper on Vélin d'Arches.By La Roche LaffitteLocated in Cotignac, FRWatercolour on handmade paper of a 'Ngil' mask applied to Vélin d'Arches paper by French artist La Roche Laffitte. Titled to the centre and signed by the artist to the left. A beautifully observed and detailed study of a 'Ngil' mask in light yellow/ochre on high quality hand-made paper. An extremely chic and elegant watercolour. 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. The secret brotherhood of the ngil used large wooden masks (called nkukh or asu ngi, i.e. 'the face of the ngi'), with stylised human figures, grotesquely accentuated features, decorated with engravings reminiscent of warriors' scarifications. These masks were more or less large, sometimes polychrome, some with monoxys horns (in South Cameroon and Rio Muni), others simply coated with whitish kaolin, the symbolic colour of spirits. Father H. Trilles had several opportunities to see and even photograph them during his journey through Fang country, from Rio Muni to South Cameroon (1899-1901). The initiation was an opportunity to reveal to the neophytes, in the greatest secrecy, that the masks were not mysterious beings from the beyond but only wooden accessories...Category
