A. Fairfax (act. c. 1881) - 1878 Watercolour Plovers
Description
An evocative late 19th-century watercolour depicting two dead plovers. The artist masterfully captures the textures and subtle colour variations of the birds' feathers against the grain of the light wood background. Signed to the lower right. Also signed, inscribed and dated verso. Well presented in a gilt frame with a white slip. On paper.Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some light foxing. The artwork has undergone previous restoration work, including tear repairs to the upper and lower margins. Some light creasing to the corners and minor marks to the edges. Some wear to the frame. Light dirtying to the slip, as well as a slight separation to the mitre joints.
