These elegant watercolours of mint are by Pierre François Ledoulx, a painter of flowers and insects from Brussels. These unfussy botanicals would look fabulous as part of a kitchen or garden facing space, and have been printed against a calming backdrop of Old White (available as both Chalk Paint® and Annie Sloan Wall Paint).
*Taken from volume I of “Regne Vegetal” (c.1790-1820) which contains botanical drawings by at least four identified artists. “Regne Vegetal” was compiled by Baron Joseph van Huerne and originally bound as a set of 4 albums. Two of these beautiful volumes are in the RHS Lindley Collections.
