Watercolour Art of JPA Gittens - 5 Quartet of Postcard Views |
||||||||||||||
This quartet - or double diptych - consists of watercolour-tinted, pencil-drawn copies of postcards which resided in a family heirloom, a wall-mounted, mahogany hat-rack and mirror. The tinting resembles the original 1930s hand-tinted black and white photocards. |
