Collection Information
From a collection of delicate fruit studies in watercolour, dating to the mid 19th century by an unknown hand.
Charmingly inscribed and carefully curated, these small watercolours walk us through the orchard of an apple and pear enthusiast whose meticulous approach to recording the trials and tribulations of growing their own produce is lovingly captured in inscriptions to the front and reverse of the paintings.
