Blanche Odin : “the Basket Of Chestnuts”

Blanche Odin (1865-1954): “The basket of chestnuts”, watercolor 36 We are proud to present to you today this adorable watercolor of chestnuts fallen from an overturned basket waiting to be debugged, a few leaves at the end of a branch balancing the composition... A photograph of the back before editing with various annotations of the hand of the Artist is attached. A museum piece. If Redouté was the greatest flower watercolorist of the first half of the 19th century, Blanche Odin (1865-1957) is the greatest of the first half of the 20th century. If, of course, it is her roses which have ensured, in a very well-deserved way, her reputation, she excelled in the representations of all kinds of flowers as we can see in the excellent works of Monique Pujo-Monfran or by visiting the Salies de Bagnères de Bigorre museum. We are specialists in the artist and constantly present them, see also our watercolors of red roses and various Roses in a brassware vase...
