Lot 189: G. Halliday, A Mirrored Autumnal Woodland Landscape, Watercolour on Paper, dated 1974
A watercolour on paper depicting a tranquil autumnal woodland scene featuring a mirrored composition. The artwork shows trees with dense golden-yellow foliage reflected in a central body of water. The artist employs a detailed and textural style, using a combination of fine brushwork and layered washes to capture the varied tones of the changing leaves and the dark forms of the tree trunks. The work is signed and dated G. Halliday 74 in the lower right corner. It is presented in a glazed, gilt-moulded frame with a multi-layered off-white mount.
Measurements not provided.
Condition report:
The paper appears to have some light, even toning consistent with age. The frame shows minor surface wear and small chips to the gilding, particularly at the corners. Strong reflections on the glass prevent a complete examination of the paint surface. Overall, the piece is in good displayable condition.
