Bring the colour and freshness of a French summer into your home with Les Pastèques, a vibrant illustrated fruit print celebrating the unmistakable watermelon.

Deep green striped watermelons sit amongst curling vines, richly detailed leaves and delicate yellow flowers, while the cut fruit reveals brilliant coral-red flesh scattered with glossy black seeds. The contrast between the dark botanical greens and vivid watermelon red makes this one of the boldest and freshest designs in the collection.

The French inscription “Trésors du Verger à l’Ancienne – Rafraîchissantes, Juteuses & Doucement Sucrées” translates as Treasures of the Traditional Orchard – Refreshing, Juicy & Gently Sweet, perfectly capturing the character of this much-loved summer fruit.

Les Pastèques forms part of our Illustrated French Fruit Prints Collection, exclusively designed for The Little Brocante Shop. It is one of our own French-inspired illustrated artworks rather than a reproduction of an antique botanical plate or historic French poster.

Its wonderful combination of rich green, warm cream and vibrant red makes it particularly striking in a kitchen, dining room or garden room and an excellent choice for adding stronger colour to a gallery wall of botanical fruit prints.

Why We Love It

This one brings something quite different to the collection. The combination of deep green rind and brilliant watermelon-red flesh gives the artwork tremendous impact without losing the elegant botanical character of the series.

We particularly love the inclusion of the curling vines and yellow flowers. They show the watermelon as a growing plant rather than simply presenting pieces of fruit, giving the artwork the feeling of an old botanical study.
