This Metropolitan Museum of Art reprint of "The Double Sweet-Scented Chinese Peony" is by artist Sir William Jackson Hooker and is part of their collection. This medium-sized portrait-oriented print features a beautiful depiction of a single, perfect peony, showcasing the artistry of this British botanical artist in the early 19th century. Hooker was one of the greatest illustrators of his time and spent the last decades of his life at Kew Gardens, London, becoming the official illustrator of the Royal Horticultural Society. Measuring 21.5"x17.5", double matted & framed, this aquatint print captures the essence of European floral realism in a stunning and delicate manner. Perfect for art enthusiasts or collectors looking to add a touch of elegance to their space.
