An impressive pair of detailed applique fabric scenes probably on a silk based substrate with watercolour and gouache detail, showing an artist's workshop and a shop selling caged birds. The combination of delicately folded and sewn fabric with the intricate painted detail, obsessively records the scene in fascinating clarity, down to the individual hairs to the artists paint laden brush. Hardly distinguishable miniature hands hammer frames and prepare paper in an expressive dexterity beautifully recreated via the textile medium.
Both artworks are identical in size and have been well presented in simple carved wood frames.
Signed.The condition is typical for a pictures of this age including some discolouration. With spots of discolouration to both artworks, as shown in the accompanying images.
