A hand-coloured lithograph, matted and framed behind glass, by important Russian artist, illustrator and graphic designer Sergei Vasil’evic Chekhonin (1878-1936), signed in pencil l.r. and numbered l.l. 82/100.
It depicts a sophisticated bouquet of wild flowers expertly arranged in an ovoid futurist vase, most likely one of Chechonins’ own designs, resting on a table in bunched lush fabric. The watercolor highlights and wash have been expertly added by hand to bring life and depth the images.
Condition: It is in Excellent Vintage Condition; For Accuracy Only: there is some overall light fading commensurate with age but overall the impression is strong and colourful, the hand-coloring is original and not added at a later date. It is framed and matted behind glass, ready for display.
They were matted and framed at Salmon Arts, Toronto, sometime in the 1930s. There is some overall light fading but the overall impression is strong and colourful.
