Our price $45.00

Hirst is notable not only for being one of a very few women artists to paint trompe I'oeil still lifes of exceedingly high quality, but also because she was one of the very few who executed them in the demanding medium of watercolor, often on an intimate scale and feminine themes. This is the first publication devoted to Hirst's life and art. 72 colorplates, 29 illustrations.
