Description

A very finely painted watercolour depiction of the Southern French city of Montpellier from the French landmark 'La Place du Peyrou' with pen and ink outline. The artist has shown figures at various points in the composition to create an impressively realistic depth of field. The fine brushstrokes and gum Arabic used on the trees gives the textured impression of real foliage. Presented in a washline mount. Inscribed. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. With foxing spots visible to the sky area and mount burn to the edges of the page.
