Unit price perAbout the Artwork:
The artwork pictured isn't attributed to a specific artist, but rather to the print shop Clay & Richmond, operating in Buffalo, New York during the mid to late 19th century. This company was known for producing quirky and often humorous chromolithographs, a type of colorful lithograph print.
The chromolithograph itself depicts a curious sight: a woman with an elegant posture leans confidently towards the viewer. Her unique gown, however, is the real showstopper. Instead of luxurious fabrics, she is adorned in a dress entirely fashioned from a single, vibrant green cabbage. The artist renders the ruffled leaves, creating an elegant ensemble.
