Description
Please see the other Sara Rosa Keezer listed earlier as they’d make a lovely pair.
7″ x 9 1/2″ watercolor/gouache on artist board was probably done in the 1930’s. This is a charming painting; however, there is a lot of “foxing” most clearly seen on the white border. With a mat covering the border, the painting would be acceptable for framing without restoration. Any foxing directly on the painting itself is hardly noticeable if at all. Buyer pays for shipping.
