Louisa M. Gibson Pratt (1858-1910)
19th Century Illustration Artist
Extraordinary Collection - Drawings and Watercolor
Six Piece Collection
Extraordinary 19th century collection from this incredibly talented illustration artist. Louisa M. Gibson Pratt is a listed artist and can be found in Artprice.com. Unfortunately her work appears on the market VERY RARELY. As far as we know from extensive research, this collection includes the one of the only Watercolors to appear on the market for this artist. AND, what a breathtaking watercolor it is at that. But, we will let you judge for yourself with the images we have provided.
Also, our research via Google indicates there is a connection or relationship with Charles Gibson, of "The Gibson Girls" fame.
This Rare collection includes one stunning watercolor on board and five drawings, ALL ORIGINALS, NOT PRINTS. The watercolor is an illustration for “The Sea Princess’ Children” (and is identified as such in writing on the back), a 19th century children’s book. It is simply, breath-taking ! The five drawings are female subjects including one nude.
Each piece is signed either on the front or the back (or both). The watercolor also has monogrammed initials on the bottom left and notes and signature on the back.
The size of each piece is approximately 17x24”.
They are all in excellent condition. There are some paper tears on some of the drawings, however no tears touch the artwork. Look at how breath-taking these look recently framed.
