Lot description

A serene and delicately rendered composition by British master watercolorist Mary Jackson, this watercolor on heavyweight, archival watercolor paper, captures the quiet poetry of a lush water garden alive with movement and color. Jackson's characteristic sensitivity to light is evident in the shimmering surface of the pond, where goldfish glide beneath floating lily pads and soft reflections ripple across the water. Her refined brushwork and nuanced palette bring a sense of calm vitality to the scene, balancing natural detail with an impressionistic touch. Signed by artist lower left corner. Original Cross Gate Gallery of Lexington, Kentucky label intact on the back of the frame. Classic contemporary gallery frame. Frame: Mottled forest green finish with subtle, dark undertones. Double-matted using a premium off-white archival mat. Artist: Mary Jackson (British, b. 1936) Dimensions: Frame size: 21"L x 17"H; sight size 14.5"L x 10"H
