This is a lovey garden scene, Afternoon Tea, water color by Artist Beverly Erschell. This painting captures the essence of a moment we all want to be part of. The painting is in excellent condition. ( The back side of this paining has a nice pencil study she did for another painting of a lovely drawing room set for tea.) Kind of an extra layer of richness - just knowing it is there. The art work is 18” x 13” dry mounted in a Frame is 22” x 18” Looks great in this frame but I would recommend getting UV glass because this is a very nice piece of art.
