Orchids

Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917), lithograph, c. 1900

Theo van Hoytema is known primarily for his brilliantly executed calendar sheets and picture books. His independent prints were issued in much smaller editions and thus only reached a limited audience. The orchids in this lithograph are beautifully set against a delicate pattern of branches and leaves. The print was published in 1905 as part of a portfolio with three other studies of flowers.
