Antique French Pink Rose Watercolour Painting

This is a delightful watercolour painting of a pink rose with vivid use of pinks to bring the rose to life in the foreground, with beautiful tones of green to picking up the surrounding foliage beautifully.  The background also has a pink tone to it. Such a pretty piece.

Signed Rauett in the bottom right corner, the painting sits in a gilded frame which has now faded and worn over time, revealing a natural timeworn appearance. The frame has glass in it protecting the painting, which has been completed on watercolour paper. 

Although there is wear and light knocks to the edge of the frame, there is no damage to the frame. There is a breakage to the back of the painting, I suspect where a hook has previously been attached and broken away. However, the painting itself is not damaged.
