Vintage Framed Watercolour – Middle Eastern Women by Water, c.1970s

A beautifully presented vintage original watercolour depicting three women in traditional Middle Eastern dress gathered by water at dusk. Soft washes of colour create a calm, atmospheric scene, with pastel skies, distant mountains and delicately rendered textile detail.

 

The piece is professionally mounted with a wide pale grey mount and housed in a black wooden frame, giving it a refined, gallery-ready presence. The verso bears a label from Headingley Gallery, Leeds, indicating it was sold through a respected regional gallery, likely during the 1970s–1980s.

 

An elegant and expressive original artwork that brings warmth and quiet narrative to an interior.
