by Redouté, Pierre Joseph

Redouté print of pretty dark-pink multi-blossomed Lilac flower.

Reproduction from a hand-coloured stipple engraving by Langlois after a painting by Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) for his "Choix des plus belles fleurs et des plus beaux fruits" (Choice of the most beautiful flowers and fruit) published in Paris between 1827 and 1830.

Redouté painted exquisite watercolours on vellum for his employer, Napoleon's Empress Josephine, to record the plants and flowers in her extensive gardens at Malmaison.
