A pair of French botanical studies in watercolour and pencil, painted by Jeanne Ginestet in July 1920 — student work from the course of Mme Chrétien, signed and dated. Each sheet s ets finished, delicately coloured blooms beside the artist's working pencil sketches, that half-finished quality being part of the charm. On lovely deckle-edged paper. A century old, full of quiet personality, and beautiful framed as a pair. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. Note the signs of age and wear to the paper including minor tears on the border. dimensions: 12.75"W x 19.5"L Show more
