Early 1800s Italian Watercolor Game Board

A tranquil and peaceful watercolor on paper depicting a landscape with a fortress by English artist John Varley. Circa early 1800s. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, ""Varley's landscapes are graceful and solemn in feeling, and simple and broad in treatment, being worked with a full brush and pure fresh transparent tints, usually without any admixture of body-colour.
