Item description from seller

A fine, framed and glazed, original botanical watercolour painting of Rosa moyesii, 325 x 360 mm [frame 560 x 590 mm] with a double, white, acid-free, conservation mount, and clean-lined solid hardwood frame with a 'limed' finish. By the late botanical artist Ann Smith, signed and dated 1998. The frame is very slightly marked, otherwise in very good condition, ready to hang. [Artist's biography: Ann Smith was a goldsmith by trade, a highly skilled artisan working out of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, but with a passion for botanical illustration. She was a member of various botanical art societies; she exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Botanical Art exhibitions held in The Lindley Hall, London; for the 2004 exhibition she prepared a mixed collection of botanical works including studies of Romneya coulteri and Papaver orientalis 'Beauty of Livermere', in a later exhibition she presented a themed collection featuring various Meconopsis (blue popy) species and cultivars. Ann Smith was an accomplished botanical artist who painted with great fidelity, her plants morphologically accurate and finely detailed, but her paintings are always well composed and perhaps it is this, her strong sense of composition, that is her greatest quality.]We hold a number of original paintings by this artist, so please enquire if you are looking for particular botanical subjects.
