Painterly Pinks, Lovely Victorian Mounted Sea Moss Specimen gold leafed painting and while the inked textI come across lone sea moss samples now and then, which tend to show their age and some related losses, but this just a beauty of an example, very painterly and lush and ethereal feeling, as if still rippling in the current, under the sea. Paper 8 7 8" x 5 11 16". Very good condition, 19th century, securely mounted to good weight paper.
