Description

Flowering Pelargoniums on a parapet of a house with mountains in the background and fruit trees in the middle distance.

Commentary

The sketch approach to the application of paint and the light touch of the brush especially on the parapet, is in the style of Barbara Fleming in her mid career.

The reverse is marked “A Fleming” in block capitals. Many boards in the collection carry this marking, and some of them are considered to be by Barbara Fleming. The marking may record ownership rather than authorship and is not treated here as evidence of attribution.

Condition

In need of conservation. Flattening to all four corners. Significant damage to the top left corner. Paint lifting at the top right. Unvarnsihed.
