Description: This spectacular color chromolithograph is from Berthe Hoola Van Nooten's Fleurs, fruits et feuillages choisis de la flore et de la pomone de l' Ile de Java peints d'après nature. The work was published by C. Muquardt in Brussels between 1863 and 1885. The chromolithograph was completed by P. de Pannemaerk. Each image is of Javense fruits or flowers. Berthe Hoola Van Nooten, considered a latter-day Maria Sibylla Merian, accompanied her husband to Jakarta (Batavia), capital of Java, in her early twenties. Her husband soon died, and she was left with debt to pay. She had her paintings commissioned into these stunning prints. "Van Nooten was clearly more than competent, for the splendid tropical plants… have been depicted with great skill. She managed to accentuate the splendour of each species by adopting a style that combined great precision and clarity with a touch of neo-Baroque exuberance, revelling in the rich forms and colours of the tropics." (L. Tongiorgi Tomasi An Oak Spring Flora p.330) Unframed print on paper, measures 19 1/2” L x 14 1/4” W
