by Redouté, Pierre Joseph

Redoute print of pretty yellow and blue Irises.

Redouté painted exquisite watercolours on vellum for his employer Napoleon's Empress Josephine to record the plants and flowers from around the world, that were cultivated and thrived in her extensive gardens at Malmaison outside Paris.
