17 x 13in.
Estimate £200-300

Watercolour and gouache on off white paper, all four are in good condition overall but one shows some white overpaint in the lower left corner and another white patch on the right hand side which may well have been some form of correction used before printing, this white paint again appears on the image with orange bell flowers in the top right corner, and at the very top right where near what looks like a poppy seed head, perhaps a slight hint of acid staining around the margins, thin card mounts and parcel gilt cream frames which are now looking a little tatty.
