EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph by Verneuil, titled "Arrowhead, Sagittaria sagittifolia," showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Arrowhead plant as a motif in various decorative arts during the late 19th century. The Arrowhead, also known as Duckpotato or Common Arrowhead, is a submerged or emergent aquatic plant native to North America. In this exquisite print, the Arrowhead's distinctive arrow-shaped leaves are depicted in intricate detail, their delicate veins and sinuous curves capturing the essence of the plant's natural form. The lithograph, which features pochoir (stencil) handcoloring by Eugène Grasset, showcases the Arrowhead motif in three different mediums: embroidery, stained glass, and fabric patterns. In the embroidery design, the Arrowhead leaves are rendered in delicate threads, their sinuous curves and intricate veins brought to life through the skillful use of needle and thread. In the stained glass pattern, the Arrowhead leaves are depicted in vibrant colors, their translucent forms casting intricate patterns of light and shadow. In the fabric pattern, the Arrowhead leaves are rendered in precise lines and shapes, their sinuous curves and intricate veins creating a visually striking and organic design. Eugène Grasset (1841-1917), a Swiss artist, created this innovative design during the height of the Art Nouveau movement in Paris in 1897. Grasset's work was known for its organic forms and intricate detail, and his designs inspired many artists and craftspeople of the time. This lithograph, with its exquisite depiction of the Arrowhead motif, is a testament to the beauty and versatility of natural forms in decorative arts.
