This second edition of the Water-Lily plate (No. 7) captures all the refined serenity of Plate 9, with slight variations in layout and ornamental balance. Grasset’s interpretation of the nénuphar transforms the aquatic bloom into a sinuous decorative motif, ideal for panels and stained glass work.
As a sacred symbol of rebirth and inner stillness, this design brings harmony and depth to any setting — a true icon of the Art Nouveau spirit.
