Antique Lemon
Antique Lemon belongs to the long tradition of citrus illustration that flourished from the Renaissance through to the great encyclopaedias of the nineteenth century — a tradition in which the lemon's vivid yellow and sculptural form made it a favourite subject. This plate presents the fruit whole, halved, and in botanical cross-section, the thick pith and segmented flesh rendered with quiet accuracy against a pale ground. Warm yellows and cool greens keep the composition balanced and fresh without straying into decoration for its own sake.
Reproduced as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, the illustration's precise linework and luminous colour are captured with full clarity — a fine art print that brings the best of botanical draughtsmanship directly to the wall.
