Vintage 1942 color lithograph by Jessie Arms Botke, titled “Citron Cockatoos and Avocado,” featuring two white cockatoos perched among lush tropical foliage and avocado branches. Botke was known for her richly decorative avian and botanical compositions, and this piece captures the California School elegance, tropical glamour, and graphic botanical styling associated with her work.
The print bears the printed Jessie Arms Botke signature in the image and lower-margin text reading “By Jessie Arms Botke,” along with “U.S. Print No. 730.” The image also carries the printed copyright mark for Catalda Fine Arts, Inc., New York, dated 1942.
The piece is housed in its original period bamboo wood frame with glass. The reverse retains a vintage New York Graphic Society shipping label addressed to Santa Ana Paint Co. in Santa Ana, California, adding appealing period sales history and regional California context.
A highly decorative mid-century statement piece with strong Hollywood Regency, Chinoiserie, tropical, and California interiors appeal.
