Gustavus A. Bouvier. On a Sunny Day
![]() Medium: Watercolor Size: Height 12.5 in.; Width 9 in. / Height 31.8 cm.; Width 22.9 cm. Authenticity of Research Project Two:
(Reprinted from Blog post 1/16/13):
I need to buy a jeweler's loop at 10 or 20x to look for small colored dots often indicative of a reproduction. On the work I've noticed stray hairs, possibly the remnants of the bristles of a cheap or simply overused brush. The stray hairs make me think the work is an original, as do the pencil imprints on the page outlining the image. We shall see. |
