This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. The painting comes displayed in a wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 10 x 8 inches Frame measures 14 x 12 inches PROVENANCE: Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
