MP001 Fennel Star Anise Beautiful realistic illustration by the renowned Italian botanical artist Marilena Pistoia (1933-2017). This lovely botanical artwork is printed on strong semi-glossed paper with unrelated text on the reverse. The page is clean & the colours remain vivid. It was published in 1975, & measures approximately 11.5 x 6 inches, (29 x 20 cms). It is neither matted nor framed; however a sample is shown of how it might appear when mounted. Marilena Pistoia (1933-2017) was an Italian botanical artist. She graduated from the Academy of Art, & illustrated several books on a wide range of botanical subjects. She lived, lectured & worked in Bologna. Her watercolours are appreciated for their strong vivid displays & remarkable realism. This print would look stunning if mounted & framed, either on its own, or in association with one of our other botanical illustrations. As with all items of this age, there may be some slight characteristic foxing, toning or marking but the condition of this one is good, & the image is clear & bright.
