Photograph of the interior view of an art studio in the Paul deLongpre residence on Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga Avenue, Hollywood, ca.1905. The room is decorated numerous paintings, ornate furniture and intricate rugs. The crown molding incorporates detailed circular tracery. Twenty-five paintings of floral still-lifes hang on the walls or stand on easels, the floor or furniture. Each painting is uniquely framed. No two paintings are alike and each has a number to uniquely identify it on the lower corner of its frame. Visible numbers include: 78, 44, 19, 85, 87, 30, 41, 70, 29, 2, 82, 84, 52, 16, 3, and 69.; "A famous French and American flower painter, Paul DeLongpre was the most significant watercolor specialist to arrive in Los Angeles in the late 19th century and became the city's first major still-life painter. It is likely he was the first southern California painter to earn a major national reputation. In 1899, he moved his family to Southern California because he was so impressed by the floral landscapes and flowers he saw. He paid only ten dollars for a huge lot at Cahuenga and Hollywood Boulevard, now part of downtown Hollywood. He built an extravagant Moorish style mansion surrounded by a three-acre lot on which he grew four-thousand rose bushes. This site became the first tourist attraction in Hollywood, and from the gardens, he found many floral still life subjects." -- unknown author.约1905年，好莱坞大道与卡亨加大道交汇处的保罗·德朗普雷（Paul deLongpre）宅邸内艺术工作室内部景观照片。室内陈设着大量画作、精美家具与繁复地毯，檐口饰线带有精致的圆形花饰窗格纹样。二十五幅花卉静物画或悬挂于墙面，或置于画架、地面与家具之上，每幅画作均配有专属画框，无一重复，且在画框下角带有用于唯一标识的编号。可见编号包括：78、44、19、85、87、30、41、70、29、2、82、84、52、16、3与69。 著名法裔美国花卉画家保罗·德朗普雷（Paul DeLongpre）是19世纪末抵达洛杉矶的最具影响力的水彩画专家，同时也是洛杉矶首位重要的静物画家。他极有可能是南加州首位获得全国性重要声誉的画家。1899年，因被当地所见的花卉与花卉景观深深打动，他携全家迁居南加州。他仅以10美元便购下了卡亨加大道与好莱坞大道交汇处的大片地块，如今该区域已是好莱坞市中心的一部分。他在此建造了一座奢华的摩尔风格宅邸，宅邸周边环绕着占地3英亩的花园，园中种植了4000株玫瑰。此处后来成为好莱坞首个旅游景点，而他也从园中汲取了大量花卉静物画的创作灵感。——佚名
