The Art Nouveau watercolour dates to 1900 after Edmund Dulac’s “Circe, the Enchantress”.
The delightful subject includes a surreal scene of a lady walking with her pet cats in a predominantly blue hue.
To maintain the condition of the Art Nouveau watercolour, we suggest using a duster to keep the glass protector clean and clear.
