La Roche Laffitte
Set of Four Botanical Watercolours of Fruiting Plants on Silk on Handmade Paper.

About the Item

A set of four fine hand painted botanical watercolour studies on silk by La Roche Laffitte. The works are signed bottom right and titled below three of the watercolours in Latin and Greek. The silk has been mounted on handmade paper with a gilt framing line and has hand finished edges. Four beautiful yet simple paintings of wonderfully coloured fruiting plants executed with great precision and detail, delicately portraying each plant's leaf, flowering and fruiting parts. Kerasos/Cerasus : The cherry. Apia/Pyra : The pear. Kastana/Castanea : The chestnut. The fig (untitled). A charming and chic set of four fit 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.
