A pair of watercolour botanical studies by highly regarded flower painter Valentine Batholomew 1799-1879. The works show a group of larkspur and jasmine flowers and a single pelargonium. The paintings are beautifully detailed and coloured as would be expected for a floral artist of this stature. The pair do have some slight fading and areas of discolouration to the paper but overall are in excellent condition. The frames and mounts are in good untouched condition with the gilded frames having some overpaint. The larkspur piece is signed to the lower right and dated 1836 though there can be no doubt that both works are by the same artist. Valentine Batholomew 1799-1879 was largely self-taught though he did work for the lithographer Charles Hullmandel in his youth. Batholomew exhibited mainly at the Watercolour Society though he also exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1826 and 1854. He was highly regarded in his lifetime and was appointed Flower Painter in Ordinary to Queen Victorian and The Duchess of Kent. This pair are wonderfully decorative examples of his specimen work and are ready to hang.
Overall sizes in inches each including frames: 12 ¾ by 16 ¾
