Silvery Gold Blossoms, Moody 19th Century Theorem Watercolor small brush Each approx 2" squareA bit of an unusual theorem style watercolor in terms of the color of the blooms and blue spatter painting in and among them, which I really love, giving the suggestion of shadowy density. The effect is to impart the bunch with a certain moodiness, with a bit of a momento mori feel. And the color reads as a combination of silver and gold. 9" x 5 3 4". Watercolor on paper, c. mid 19th century. With the initials GR glued to the reverse. Good condition,
