Original Watercolor Painting of Machu Picchu Signed Flores H.

This is an original landscape watercolor painting on paper depicting the iconic Incan citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru. The composition utilizes a vertical orientation, capturing the stepped agricultural terraces, stone ruins, and the towering peak of Huayna Picchu in the background. The color palette is dominated by verdant greens and earthy grays for the structures, contrasted against a dynamic sky of bright white and deep blue washes. The artist employs a mix of tight architectural detail for the ruins and softer, wet-on-wet techniques for the clouds and mountain atmosphere. A discernible signature 'Flores H.' is located in the upper left corner along with the location 'Cusco-Peru'. The painting is on a thick, textured watercolor paper with slightly uneven edges, suggesting it may have been removed from a pad or block. The condition appears to be generally good, with some mild rippling of the paper consistent with water-based media and slight wear at the corners. There are no signs of significant foxing, fading, or major tears. The style suggests a 20th to 21st-century tourist or local artisan piece, likely created as a souvenir for visitors to the Cusco region.
