Camellia by Lise Cloquet (1788-1860)
French botanical painter Lise Cloquet’s works focused more on artistic attributes rather than scientific aspects. She learned to draw from her artist father and counted the great floral painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté as her main influence. Her work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail; note the fine veining on the petals of the camellia, pictured above.
