De beschildering met lathyrus van een knop, met daarboven enkele blaadjes c. 1897

Anatole-Alexis Fournier's *De beschildering met lathyrus van een knop, met daarboven enkele blaadjes* is a delicate watercolor and pencil study of sweet pea blossoms, dating to c. 1897. The artist, a French decorative artist, captured the delicate form of the flowers with a careful eye for detail. This study is an example of his work in the Art Nouveau style, where floral motifs and natural forms were prevalent. The study exhibits the characteristics of the Art Nouveau movement with its emphasis on stylized natural forms and sinuous lines. Fournier often incorporated floral motifs into his designs, contributing to the development of this artistic style.
