Les Fleurs Animées Original Hand-Painted French Lithographs, Set of 6

A captivating set of six original hand‑painted lithographs from the celebrated 1847 series by French artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, better known as J.J. Grandville. This exquisite collection features floral figures elegantly personified as Victorian‑era ladies, each capturing the distinctive character of her flower.

This set of six is a rare, poetic ensemble—each plate a beautifully anthropomorphic flower narrative that blends botanical art, romantic allegory, and Grandville’s signature wit. Created in 1846 and published in 1847, these prints are more than art; they are timeless stories of leaves, petals, and personalities entwined. A stunning addition to any fine art or botanical collection.

All prints are well-framed in a gold-painted wood, measuring 14” x 17.25” inches.

Artwork sites measure: 5.75” x 9" inches.

Elegant purple-and-green paisley mattes.
