Listing description

Product description

Attractive small original watercolour, signed and dated lower right Helen Bateman ’88, presented in a gold-coloured frame with glazing. The picture shows a delicate rural cottage study in muted pastels; signature and date are clearly visible at the lower right. The framed piece is compact and ready to hang (hanging hardware present and secure).

This is an ideal find for collectors of signed watercolour studies, anyone seeking a small statement for a hallway, study or kitchen, or a decorator looking for a vintage framed work that can be left as-is or lightly restored. Equally suitable for a gallery wall, rental property or restoration project — the painting has good composition but displays age-related marks that a conservator or keen hobbyist could address.
