Framed Original Watercolor Portrait of a Young Girl

This item is an original watercolor painting on paper, featuring a portrait of a young girl with blue eyes and reddish-blonde hair. The artwork is executed on a rectangular sheet with hand-deckled or torn edges, which is float-mounted on a cream-colored mat board to highlight the paper's texture. The color palette is dominated by soft washes of peach, pink for the girl’s garment, and a gradient sapphire blue background. The style suggests a modern, contemporary origin, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The child is depicted with a floral-like crown and an expressive, slightly sideways gaze. A visible signature, appearing as 'Kim' or similar, is located in the lower right corner of the painting. The piece is housed in an industrial-style wooden frame with a grey-blue textured grain finish and thin gold-toned inner and outer bevel edges. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor surface dust, while the painting itself shows no immediate signs of fading, foxing, or water damage, indicating it has been preserved behind glass. The craftsmanship displays a proficient use of wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet watercolor techniques to build skin tones and create soft transitions.
