A large floral plate from Henri Lambert's "Floral Documents" series, combining the study of the hydrangea and the Japanese crabapple. The inflorescences are depicted with great attention to detail, from the dense clusters of the hydrangea to the delicate little blossoms of the crabapple, accompanied by ample, veined foliage. The soft palette of powdery pinks, bluish greens, and subtle grays lends the whole an elegance characteristic of decorative botanical illustrations of the Belle Époque.
