Rare, original signed large watercolor on paper, framed in matte circa 1994. Painted by C. Booth Farcus, a magnificent watercolorist of the 20th century in the United States. The historical scene depicts the oldest alley in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where the descendants of the late Benjamin Franklin still reside.
Significant history and provenance emanate from this piece. The artist's note on the back of the watercolor reads: "In 1760 Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia donated cobblestones and stone culverts and paid for the design and labor required to convert this alley into a sanitary passageway. It is said that some of Franklin's descendants still reside in this area".
Signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Re-framed at Wally World Gallery in Florida. We believe the frame is cherry wood. The matting is a classic stone beige tone with textured finish. Stunning piece in person.
Will be perfectly packed for a safe arrival. We ship fast. Please send us a message with any questions you may have.
