A beautiful early 20th Century watercolour showing a Biblical scene, published in a book of Bible verse for children; the exact story is unclear. Hardy was known for her delicate and highly detailed watercolours that illustrated many children's books from fairy tales to Bible stories. This particular painting is typical of her work during this time in her career and is a very fine example of her skill with the medium.
The artist has signed to the lower left and the painting has been handsomely presented in an early 20th Century gilt empire frame with low relief strap molding and lamb's tongue strap work at the inner window. There is an internal layered card mount.
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. Small area of loss to the strap work at the upper inner left corner of the frame, some general tarnishing and smaller areas of restoration to frame.
