Original watercolor and gouache on paper by American artist Barbara Grandis, signed lower right. This striking composition depicts a poised black panther set against a luminous landscape, rendered in layered translucent washes and opaque gouache. The contrast between saturated blues and the deep black silhouette creates a bold yet balanced visual presence. Grandis exhibited in New York and New Jersey galleries, and her work was sold through Bloomingdale's and B. Altman fine print departments. Her paintings were noted for their expressive wash technique and imaginative use of color. Professionally framed and ready to display. Framed size: 15" x 18". A refined and distinctive wildlife composition suited for curated, eclectic, or gallery-style interiors.
