Redouté yellow-centred Scarlet Avens, or Geum coccineum illustration.
Reproduction from a hand-coloured stipple engraving by Chapuy after a painting by Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) for his Choix des plus belles fleurs et des plus beaux fruits (Redouté's Choice of the most beautiful flowers and fruit), which were first published in Paris between 1827 and 1830.
Redoute painted exquisite watercolours on vellum for his employer Napoleon's Empress Josephine to record the plants and flowers from around the world, that had been cultivated in her extensive gardens at Malmaison outside Paris.
