Artist: English School
Size: 14" x 10"

A beautiful watercolour by a talented but unknown painter. A very intriguing image and it is very possible that the author climbed to the spot and did a drawing which he/she then worked up into a watercolour on their return to base camp. A climber, wearing plus fours can be seen on the right hand ice column. It is a page from an album and the colours are a little faded, there is also some light foxing to the image.

Title: "Guten Morgen 1888"
Artist: M Krantz
Size: 5.5" x 4"
Price: £195
A beautiful watercolour by a very talented Austrian Watercolour painter. Signed and dated 1888 and inscribed “Guten Morgen Miss Peed!”. A charming study of a timeless subject. It is a little faded but will still frame well. It has been mounted in an oval at some time in the past which has discoloured the paper but that is reflected in the price.
