Title: [Original watercolours] Roses and butterfly [AND] Iris and butterfly.
Description: Austria(?) unpublished, ca. 1920. Two fine watercolours (24.1 x 18.0 and 23.4 x 17.8 cm), in two limp cardboard frames (34.4 x 28.0 cm). Tissue-guarded. = Two artistic renderings of roses and an iris, each with a butterfly on a stem, done much in the tradition by Barbara Regina Dietzsch. About the artist, however, nothing is known. Perhaps it is the German artist (principally landscape and portrait painter) Anton Burger (1824-1905). Provenance: the stamp of the firm, Leopold Walter Kempl in Vienna, as well as two small, circular stamps on versos (not shing through). Pinpoint hole in the top margin of the "Rose" painting; frames with some minor fraying; otherwise very good, clean.
