Selection of Small Framed Prints and Artworks
This lot comprises seven small framed pictures offered together, including a watercolour of a green gecko by Barbara Jewson. The selection includes a print of a young child in a pale blue outfit with a dog on a staircase, set in a green frame, and a black and white photograph of a cargo vessel at sea with a cream mount and dark frame. Two pieces have silvered backgrounds with radiating lines, one depicting a bird of prey in flight and the other an owl in flight, both in brown frames. Also included are a print of a yellow songbird among blossom in a dark green mount and a circular needlework panel depicting an avocet in a wooden frame. The gecko watercolour is set in a pale pine frame with a pencilled inscription visible on the mount beneath the painting. The varied subjects and frame styles make this a versatile group for display.
Condition and Collectability
The pictures are offered as seen, with no guarantee of perfect condition, and the buyer is advised to inspect each piece carefully before bidding. Visible wear consistent with age and use can be seen across the group, and the frames and mounts vary in finish. The gecko watercolour, signed or inscribed by Barbara Jewson, may be of particular interest to collectors of named British artists, while the silvered bird pieces and the vessel photograph offer appeal to those who enjoy mid-century and later decorative prints and vintage maritime imagery. Buyers should note that this is a mixed lot of small pictures rather than a single named item.
