Lilium Auretum by John Frederick Lewis |
|
|
| Lewis 1805 –1876 painted watercolours for most of his career. He lived, for eleven years in Cairo, & many of his pictures are of oriental subjects, imaginary harem scenes for example. This late oil, detailed, beautifully painted, & subtly coloured is a great pleasure to see. Each time I look at it I notice a different facet of it |
