About the Work
A charming hand-colored steel engraving from the golden age of 19th-century botanical illustration, when exotic plants such as the American Rhododendron catawbiense captivated European gardens and lavish flora volumes. The vivid, delicate coloring and precise detail make this small piece an elegant eye-catcher. Its documented provenance through the long-established St. Gallen art dealer Rudolf Raubach underscores its careful pedigree.
Provenance
This work comes from a private collection in Zug and bears on the back the original stamp of the art dealer Rudolf Raubach, Neugasse 41, 9000 St. Gallen, a long-established eastern Swiss address for art and prints. The hand-coloured steel engraving of the flowering Rhododendron catawbiense was professionally set there in a gilt frame with a double mount and has been carefully kept for decades.
