Nasturtium (Plate 41)

This Art Nouveau botanical study by Maurice Pillard Verneuil presents stylized nasturtium blossoms and rounded leaves arranged in decorative panels. Originally created for the 1896 portfolio La Plante et ses Applications Ornementales, the design emphasizes flowing curves and rich architectural borders. Executed as a refined color lithograph, it captures organic geometry in warm orange, green, and pale yellow tones. It makes an elegant focal point for a dining room, study, or hallway.
