Framed signed watercolor landscape – attributed Richard Rennie (deckled paper, glazed gilt frame)

Lot: framed signed watercolor landscape attributed to Richard Rennie. This small atmospheric rural scene is painted on deckled-edge paper, signed lower right and presented under glass with a double white mat in a decorative gilt wooden frame. The painting shows soft distant hills, thatched cottages and warm earth tones — the washes and paper texture are a strong visual feature. The piece retains its original-looking frame and secure hanging hardware.

Where it suits: ideal for a collector of vintage watercolours, a decorator seeking an understated countryside accent for a hallway or study, or a restorer/conservator who wants a signed study with period framing. The piece is ready to hang but shows condition issues that make it an attractive project for conservation-minded buyers or anyone who appreciates patina and original materials.
