For #NationalMothWeek:
Gisbert Combaz (Belgium, 1869–1941) Orchids and an Emperor Moth, 1912 Pen & black ink & watercolor, on buff paper laid down on board H 44.6 cm (17.5 in) x W 59.3 cm (23.3 in)
"This large watercolour was executed in 1912 and is signed with the artist’s late monogram. During this period Gisbert Combaz was consistently producing works with a pronounced Oriental influence, reminiscent in style of his work from before the turn of the century. The painterly style of these large-scale floral watercolours stylistically mirrors such posters of the same period as one for the exhibition in Charleroi Les art anciens du Hainaut, Salon d’art moderne, published in 1911." info via https://www.stephenongpin.com/object/791200/0/orchids-and-an-emperor-moth
