A very special set of four original 1950s botanical watercolour floral paintings set on striped yellow backing, mounted and framed by the famous Alfred Hecht (1907-91) of London. The artist behind the watercolour paintings themselves is unknown, however Hecht was a famous British picture framer and art dealer who undertook framing work for artists such as Graham Sutherland and Francis Bacon, as well as big-time art dealers. 'When I die,' Hecht used to say, 'let my epitaph be: "Alfred Hecht, the man who invented the coloured mount".' (Derek Granger, obituary for Alfred Hecht, The Independent - 12 January 1991). Please read the important information below.
DIMENSIONS Approximately, including the frame: 20cm wide x 27cm tall (each)
CONDITION Good vintage condition; structurally sound. There is some wear and tear to the frames and backing paper. Nothing particularly obvious. The set presents very well.
