One of three super saturated, strongly graphic old theorem watercolors of fruit today, purchased together in Pennsylvania--and making me think about the kinship between theorems (made using stencils, and I believe with glass straws used for blowing the base level of watercolor paint) and airbrushed designs. Surely all done by one person, and a faint penciled number at the corner of each suggests they were likely part of a larger series (one sees similar numbering on antique watercolor of flowers, birds, butterflies, where a series of different species were represented.) A very lush peach I'd say, with a very strong visual punch--and nice brushstroked detailing, too.
7 5/16" x 5 1/2" and in very good condition, watercolor on watermarked paper. Some minor smudges/stains to the paper, no matter.
