Fine Georgian watercolor of what appears to be a Head Housekeeper: “Mary Edlin” 1824 in unusual medium size. Amazingly detailed cloding and great attention to facial features with a life like look on the sitters face. Not mentioning the attention to the tables woodgrain and shading that’s really nicely executed. The sitter, with right arm pointing at a journal – highlighting her importance, left arm gently resting on tables edge – showing her authority and pointing out the ring of a marriage. And also if you look closely at her right hand, a fine detail of “veins” is visible, just an incredible portrait.. Watercolor painted on paper board, framed in birds eye maple frame. Portrait is approx 17cm by 22cm. Frame is approx 28cm by 33cm. In beautiful original condition with minor imperfections! Frame showing light wear and tear. ?
