A unique, signed mid-20th century American figurative work on paper by Alice S. Manning, combining watercolor, gouache, and layered collage. The composition depicts a seated woman in a garden setting — a quiet, contemplative subject rendered in Manning’s distinctive layered collage technique. A one-of-a-kind work (not an edition) by a mid-century American artist. Sheet size: 23.5” × 16.5”. Signed lower right. From a smoke-free, climate-controlled private collection. Excellent condition.
