Portrait of a Flower Maiden – 19th-Century Chromolithograph by Warthmüller

About the Item

Title: Portrait of a Flower Maiden – 19th-Century Chromolithograph by Warthmüller Description: This captivating 19th-century chromolithograph titled *Frühlingsblumen* (Spring Flowers) was created by the accomplished artist R. Warthmüller. This fine portrait print showcases a young woman with a delicate, wistful expression, holding an overflowing bouquet of vividly colored spring blooms. Her gentle demeanor and the tender arrangement of flowers evoke a sense of romantic nostalgia typical of 19th-century genre portraiture. This chromolithograph exemplifies the era's fascination with natural beauty and the sentimental representation of women. R. Warthmüller’s work is recognized for its lifelike detail and soft color palette, masterfully recreated here through the chromolithographic technique. The vibrant mix of reds, whites, pinks, and soft greens in the flowers beautifully contrasts with the subtle blue and grey tones of the woman’s attire. The precision and harmony of colors highlight the lithographic skill and refined aesthetic sensibilities of the period. Published in Germany around 1880-1890, this print would have appealed to those seeking to bring a touch of natural elegance and grace into their homes. It stands as a testament to both the artist's talent and the high level of craftsmanship in 19th-century printing processes. For a potential buyer, this print’s appeal lies in its romantic charm, the historical significance of chromolithography, and the evocative portrayal of femininity in art. It can serve as a focal point in a traditional or vintage-inspired interior, offering a timeless glimpse into the past. Condition Report: This chromolithograph remains in very good condition with only minor toning consistent with age. The colors are well preserved and vivid, and the overall sheet is clean and well presented. Tips for Framing: Enhance the print’s nostalgic warmth with an ornate gold or silver wooden frame and a soft cream or ivory mat to highlight the delicate color scheme and complement the floral theme. Proper UV-protective glass is recommended for long-term preservation.

19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape of 1862
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts Description: This remarkable 19th-century chromolithograph presents a sweeping and historically significant view of Bethlehem, one of the most revered locations in Christian history. The print originates from the 1862 publication *De Middelaar God en der Menschen - Tafereelen uit Jezus' Leven en Werk op Aarde* by J.J.L. Ten Kate, published by Gebroeders Kraay in Amsterdam. The composition is based on an original plate by the renowned British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose breathtaking illustrations of biblical sites remain highly sought after by collectors. The scene captures the rugged and rolling hills leading to Bethlehem, with its ancient buildings and religious structures nestled among the rocky terrain. The foreground features a winding path where travelers on foot and horseback make their way toward the city, while the distant mountains add depth and grandeur to the composition. Notably, the Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest and most significant Christian sites, can be seen among the buildings, emphasizing the town's deep historical and spiritual significance. The chromolithographic technique used in this print allows for subtle color variations and fine detailing, bringing the landscape to life with a soft, naturalistic palette. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of the Holy Land, and 19th-century travel prints...
