Overall dimensions: 24" t x 18" w

Bottom Left Subject: Breseis kneels at the bedside of the deceased Patroclus

SOLD What is Home Without a Mother, Large Hand-drawn Spencerian Calligraphy vase with glass tube Overall dimensions: 24" t xCertainly the perfect gift for any mother! Better in person, where one can appreciate the detail, this is all hand done, ink and watercolor on heavyweight paper, late 19th c. I believe. Due to the scale, one actually needs a bit of distance from it to read the message, but much of the beauty and delight is in the details, which somehow seems appropriate in speaking to the nature of a mother! Beautifully done. 21 1 4" x 8 3 4" and in good condition,
