Modernist Framed Floral Ink and Watercolor Drawing
Fine Art - Works on Paper

Modernist Framed Floral Ink and Watercolor Drawing

This is a matted and framed modernist work of art featuring a cluster of stylized roses. The medium appears to be black ink line work over a stippled or splattered watercolor background in pastels of pink, lavender, and muted green. The drawing is executed on a textured, cream-colored heavy art paper or cardstock. The composition is loose and expressive, utilizing varied line weights that suggest a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic. There is a small, illegible signature or marking in the lower right area of the drawing. Physically, the artwork is housed within a multi-layered presentation consisting of a thin pink inner mat and a wider sage-grey outer mat. The frame is a simple, polished metallic gold-toned moulding, likely aluminum or wood with a metallic finish. Regarding condition, the paper shows slight yellowing consistent with age, but no major foxing or staining is visible. The mats appear well-preserved, though there is a reflection on the glass indicating the presence of standard glazing. The overall craftsmanship suggests a professionally framed piece likely dating from the 1970s or 1980s, reflecting the decorative interior styles of that period.
