Description

Wonderful mystery art piece I offer out today. This is an original watercolor drawing of Victorian age created in 1890 and I believe with oriental artist ancestry as per the monogram and date. Part of the mystery is in the last 2 shown photos I included where a different artist stole this work and created prints with a B initial to sell sometime in the early 1900s. Despite 130+ years of age toning to the watercolor paper, the colors remain vibrant and clear in this magnificent portrayal of a young colorfully dressed and adorned girl with tambourine. Some day this original artist will be determined, but I imagine it will be by the next owner. As always, free shipping, a charity donation and the Best Offer listing for all buyer considerations.
