A large floral plate from Henri Lambert's "Floral Documents" series, dedicated to various dahlia varieties, including Dahlia coccineus and single dahlias . The flowers are depicted at various stages of development, blending simple forms with fuller blooms, in a soft palette of pinks, pale yellows, and nuanced greens. The precise rendering of the foliage and inflorescences, combined with an airy composition, perfectly illustrates the balance sought between botanical study and decorative illustration during the Belle Époque.
