Botanical Bearded Iris Watercolour Painting – 140 × 103 cm

The Iris in Full Glory

This magnificent original 140 × 103 cm watercolour painting is a botanical masterwork. A bearded iris in its full splendour takes centre stage — its upper petals (standards) rendered in soft lilac and mauve, while the dramatically ruffled lower falls deepen to rich burgundy and plum, accented by a vivid golden-yellow beard at the throat.

Every detail has been observed and painted with extraordinary care: the delicate veining within each petal, the subtle sheen of the surface, the way colour shifts and deepens from edge to centre. Beside the open bloom, a tightly furled bud promises more beauty to come — its green and gold sepals hinting at the richness within.

Slender, sword-like leaves in deep teal and green anchor the composition, lending a classical botanical illustration quality to this large-format work. Against a clean, pale background, the iris commands the space with quiet authority.
