Catherine Board - Early 19th Century Watercolour A Country Girl

Description

A vibrant watercolour scene with gum arabic. The artist has utilised the vibrancy of the watercolour to create a picturesque rural scene showing a young girl carrying a bundle of wheat in her apron, resting on a style. The attention to minuscule detail is beautiful, such as the highlights on an earthenware jug, perched on the style and the tiny cottage in the distance. A truly exquisite miniature. The painting is laid to grey card, on the back of which the artist has inscribed and signed. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including minor discolouration to the paper. The paintings vibrancy is still strong.
