David Roberts Wall Decorations
British, 1796-1864
David Roberts was born outside of Edinburgh, Scotland. At age 10 he became a house painter’s apprentice. He continued painting houses and, eventually, theater scenes in Edinburgh and then in London. Roberts’ friend, J.M.W. Turner, recognized his artistic talent and encouraged him to become a full-time artist.
In 1839 Roberts traveled to Egypt and then in 1840, through the Holy Land, concluding in Jerusalem. Upon his return to England, F.G. Moon agreed to publish lithographs created by Louis Haghe from Roberts’ sketches and watercolors. This publication was highly acclaimed and very popular for its esthetic quality, its historical and topographical accuracy, and Roberts’ dramatic depiction of his scenes. Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens were among the subscribers who collected his works. Roberts’ and Haghe’s duotone lithographs, often colored, remain extremely sought after today and have been rising steadily in value.

Carmélite - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Carmelite Nun
This 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Carmélite, or Carmelite nun, embodying simplicity and devotion. The nun is dressed in the traditional brown habit with a white mantle and wimple, reflecting the Carmelite Order's values of poverty, humility, and prayer. Her calm and contemplative expression symbolizes a life dedicated to spiritual reflection and service.
The Carmelite Order, originating in the 12th century on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, emphasizes a contemplative lifestyle centered on prayer, silence, and community. Reformed by Saint Teresa of Ávila in the 16th century, the Discalced Carmelites maintain strict adherence to these principles. Today, Carmelite nuns continue their spiritual mission worldwide, focusing on prayer and devotion in cloistered convents.
This lithograph, part of the *Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome*, was created by the renowned artist G. Perugini. It captures the serene and ascetic life of a Carmelite nun, making it a compelling piece for collectors interested in religious art...
