Old watercolour of a tree, botanical study signed, mid-20th century.

Delicate old watercolour depicting a tree treated with great lightness and sensitivity. The foliage, worked with small soft and lively strokes, seems almost to be in motion. The whole piece exudes a calm and poetic presence, with something meditative in the way the tree occupies the space. A simple and just work, straddling botanical study and atmospheric painting, easy to integrate into an old interior, countryside, wabi-sabi, or more contemporary settings. Signature at the bottom right, difficult to decipher. Old light wood frame and white mount. Overall in good condition with a few discreet signs of age consistent with the artwork's age. Dimensions: frame: 32 X 26 cm. Watercolour: 28.5 X 20 cm.
