Featured tiny aceo (ish) watercolour

hi folks, something i picked up yesterday for £3

painting measures 2 1/2 inches by 4 inches ( 1/2 inch away from being proper aceo (snip snip, wink wink)

its very unfair zooming in on her at that size, but take that into account

not sure ive got any questions, but would appreciate any observations which always help

everything underneath has been glued, so no info

frame makes me think edwardian ?

any thoughts appreciated

 

It is lovely, charlie. At £3, I would have picked it up too.

 

How very sweet. Someone on a walking tour, I bet.

cool thanks Aj, poor little thing went redder when i zoomed in on her

 

interesting deb thanks, wonder if it could have been a cut down postcard then

 

Are you going to open it up and see what you find?

Debora

 

yeah have done, its all been glued together in a sandwich unfortunately, shame

 

So it's a "hang & enjoy" then?

Debora

 

It's charming

 

It's a nice little piece, chesaroo. Someone had a good handle on the medium. No mud. Good buy.

 

She was just a bit shy.

 

The Scottish Highlands I'd think, wouldn't you?

Debora

 

Certainly British with that bridge (love those), but it could also be the Lake District, or Wales.

 

Wales, check out David Cox, washline mount so a treasured little sketch. You won't be able to make any attribution stick, but fun to do anyway. Nice piece.

 

your only blooming right as well inh, the eyes on you

its tiny and in pencil like the outlines, will try and get a pic

its about as clear as most artists signatures though

 

thanks for the info blooey, will definitely look into that

 

not sure if its a signature or not, so so tiny

if i had to make a guess i think its says john brassey, anyone heard of him

 

hi inh, yeah still to hard to make out even with a loupe

still helpful though if i find another like watercolour, where the signature looks the same
