About the Item

This is an engaging work with masterful detail that will unfold for an intent viewer, particularly in the area of the figure's well-worn hands, and her traditional clothing. The image depicts a Bavarian woman deep in thought while winding a skein of wool. She is seated outside of her home, where she has brought her yarn swift to take in the sun and fresh air while she works. Watercolor on buff laid paper, 16 x 11 inches (405 x 280 mm), initialed and dated in ink, lower left. Laid down to non-archival board with areas of minor scattered discoloration, the verso remains unexamined. Colors are vibrant and extremely fresh.
