Choppy Water

Sale Price: $37.50 Original Price: $320.00

This delicate 1915 British watercolor is unframed and double-sided. One side centers on a small sailing boat with dark, billowing sails cutting through choppy green water beneath a softly glowing sky of rose, gold and lavender; the tiny seascape is bordered by handwritten verses and a sprig of pale pink flowers, all rendered on slightly browned, deckle-edged paper whose corners show gentle wear. The composition balances intimate, painterly atmosphere with personal sentiment — the warm twilight palette and loose brushwork evoke a quiet, reflective mood, while the surrounding ink inscriptions and floral embellishment, drawn with colored pencil, suggest the sheet was meant as a keepsake or gift, dated December 15, 1915. The flip side of the piece features a single pink tulip with a written name and date in different handwriting than the opposite side of the paper.
