The handling is confident and loose in the wet-on-wet passages, the roses built up in layered washes from pale to deep rose, the mark of real watercolor skill rather than a print. It sits under old wavy glass and is housed in a carved giltwood frame with a ribbon-twist outer molding and a beaded inner edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe signature lower right reads Blanche Salanson. The framer's label on the reverse, Moirinat, 184 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, is a real and traceable Right Bank house whose mark is recorded on a documented work dated 1899, which helps place this firmly at the turn of the century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition, disclosed plainly: light foxing and scattered spotting in the paper, the usual toning of a paper work of this age, and honest rubbing to the gilt frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasures 10.5 by 12.5 inches framed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStyling: hang it alone where the roses and the gilt frame can carry a wall, or lean it on a mantel or shelf among other framed works and small objects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foundresse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56583101874342,"sku":null,"price":585.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/7645\/6870\/files\/IMG_4598.jpg?v=1780678938","url":"https:\/\/foundresse.com\/products\/antique-french-floral-watercolor-signed-salanson-paris-circa-1899","provider":"foundresse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
