Descrizione
A fine watercolour depicting shells on pith paper. Oblong, 15.0 x 23.0 cm. Glass covered. In simple but elegant frame of 27.0 x 34.0 cm. = Delicately watercolour images of shells by an unknown artist. The genera are usually very recognizable, except for the volutid; species-level identification is less easy, but that of course has not been the aim of the artist, who painted the gastropods as mirror images. Small tear to lower middle part and some light foxing, but not very distractive. A unique item.
