Original Elizabeth A. McEwen RUA - Tulips - Botanical Watercolour

DON’T FORGET TO LOOK AT MY OTHER ADS!

Beautiful original botanical watercolour by Elizabeth A. McEwen RUA (1937–2020), depicting three elegant pink tulips with detailed leaves and stems.

The work is signed “E.A. McEwen” and is presented in an attractive period frame with a dark green mount and fine gold detailing.

McEwen was a Belfast-born botanical artist who became a full-time artist in 1974. She was elected an Associate of the Royal Ulster Academy in 1983, became an Academician in 1990 and later a Senior Academician. She also exhibited with the Society of Botanical Artists in London and won the RUA Gold Medal in 1991.

Particularly interesting provenance

The reverse retains the original Elizabeth A. McEwen artist label, giving her Belfast address, together with a Chichester Galleries Ltd. Belfast picture-framing label.

This is a genuine original artwork rather than a modern reproduction or print.
