A sign of spring arriving 222 years ago!  I can't resist a watercolor like this, and love the way both the straw of the nest and the weave of the rich yellow basket were invested with a great deal of attention. And then these love birds themselves, full of life and also quite relatable, I'd say--their beaks meeting, but she doesn't looks entirely glad to see him! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 6\" x 5\" framed, under glass, with partial wooden back and hanging loop at top.  Sight 4 7\/8\" x 3 7\/8\". I extricated the watercolor from an early 20th century frame with mat laid over its edges and placed it in this nice 19th century lemon gold one, which I think suits it very nicely. Some toning\/scattered spotting as evident, as one would expect, but no tears, color strong, and better in hand; both watercolor and frame in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47867171406078,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_6308.png?v=1772495998","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/love-birds-in-basket-with-flowering-vines-1804-watercolor-in-antique-lemon-gold-frame-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
