It came from a French Beaux-Arts portfolio of 4 volumes of "Encyclopedie de la Plante", an “artistique” and “documentaire” collection of botanical plates. This drawing showcases details and intricacies of the structure of the oak tree with its acorns. It has a wonderful strong graphic quality. The line drawing aspect of the botanical study is very evident and makes the image unique and RARE. The inset detail of the oak tree itself adds additional interest as well. Note the initial signature of the artist, Mathurin Meheut, in lower right corner. Meheut was a French painter, engraver and etcher who was known for his works of nature. The lithograph is in excellent vintage condition. Done in light and dark gray tones. 11.5 x 15 inches in size. See less
