c.1886 Study of Citrus Fruit
The c.1886 Study of Citrus Fruit is a vibrant pair of illustrations referencing original late-19th-century American pomological studies. These watercolor paintings were originally commissioned to document the diverse varieties of citrus being cultivated in the United States, capturing the specific textures and luminous colors of oranges, lemons, and limes. Digitally remastered in our Lancashire studio, we have meticulously restored the original hand-painted depth and clarity, ensuring these "pictures of distinction" serve as a refreshing focal point for any tastefully appointed interior.
