Small Framed and Signed French Floral Watercolour Painting

This is a delight in so many ways - the delicacy of the flowers, the natural age, the date present in the bottom left corner and the wonderful original frame.

Signed G.F, and dated 26 juillet (July) 1937, the execution of this small watercolour painting is stunning. The mix of detailing and colours in the floral spray is superb, and is followed through to the shading of the jug. It's a real treasure.

Encased in a gilt finished wooden frame, it's such a lovely item.

There is some minor wear to the painting, with some light water damage on the left hand side. The backing card of the frame has evidence of more water damage across it. This has no doubt happened because the frame has no glass or perspex. The frame itself is also a little chippy, with the gilt finish knocked and worn in a few places.

Overall, though, there's no doubt this is a special little painting.
