Title: Water Lilies and Irises on a Pond Technique: Watercolor on paper Measures: 15 x 23 inches Year: Undated Condition: Good overall condition, with vivid colors and clearly defined details. Minor surface wear, tonal variations, and age-related imperfections may be present. Presented under glass in an ornate gold-tone frame displaying wear, abrasions, and minor areas of loss. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition report. Provenance: From a private collection in Maine. According to the consignor, the watercolor was discovered among books, prints, and framed works in a seasonal residence that had remained largely unused since the 1980s. This provenance is based primarily on family recollection and has not been independently verified. Visual Description: A luminous pond scene featuring scattered water lilies and broad lily pads rendered in layered shades of blue, green, turquoise, and violet. A cluster of purple irises rises prominently from the foreground, while vertical strokes of color suggest reflections and surrounding vegetation across the water’s surface.
