Matilija Poppy by Mary Vaux Walcott
The Matilija Poppy is one of California's most dramatic wildflowers, and Mary Vaux Walcott captures it with the combination of scientific exactitude and painterly warmth that made her the foremost botanical illustrator of her era. Large, tissue-thin petals float around a dense golden centre, rendered in watercolour with a lightness of touch that makes the bloom appear freshly picked. The composition is spare yet alive, the white background giving the flower full authority over the page.
Reproduced as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, every delicate petal edge and layered wash of colour is rendered with exceptional sharpness and clarity. The matte surface brings out the full depth of her original watercolour in this fine art print.
