pretty worn gilded wood frame

ready to do its job

The postage stamp on the back is dated 1908 but it was written and mailed in 1912

Pale Colors, Abstract Forms Vintage Watercolor antique chest pretty worn gilded wood frameThis is the larger of two abstract vintage watercolors I'm listing by the same unknown artist, I'd guess likely done as art school exercises, though I am not entirely certain. They've both got a bit of a Hilga af Klint vibe, and the palette of pale yellows, oranges, blues and greens, transforming as they cross borders of the rounded forms, could not be lovelier. Ethereal, and with the effect of a deep inhale. Paper size is 20 x 16 1 2". Very good
