A Very Rare Original Watercolour by the esteemed artist Katharine Jowett depicting the what I believe to be an outside of a Temple. The watercolour is initialed K. J. to the bottom right hand corner as you look at the painting. The painting is on watercolour paper mounted onto sturdy card. The mount is attached to one side only so that it can be turned as a page in a book. The mount is creased in places- please see the photographs. The colours are still vibrant. The subject matter evokes feelings of a long ago past, there is a simplicity to the style and subject matter Katharine Jowett was painting in the Peking/ Beijing area during the late 1920's and early 1930's. Her painting and prints were very very popular amongst the upper class Chinese and the Western population. Chairman Mao himself had a set of prints in his office. The style that Jowett painted in is almost impressionistic in style. Dimensions without the mount is length approx 15 inches - Width approx 10 inches. Dimensions with the mount is length approx just under 19 inches - Width 14 inches. Postage UK £10 Postage worldwide £25 The woodblock prints and the original watercolours that I have listed were bought when Katharine's son died and his estate was sold. I guarantee them as genuine..
