Large floral plate from the Floral Documents series by Henri Lambert, dedicated to the study of anemones depicted in various forms and colors. The flowers, with their strikingly contrasting dark centers, are rendered with exquisite delicacy of drawing and a subtle palette blending powdery pinks, mauves, lilacs, and nuanced greens. The airy composition highlights the suppleness of the stems and the lightness of the corollas, typical of decorative botanical illustrations of the Belle Époque.
