THIS WATERCOLOUR AND INK PAINTING WAS FOUND BEHIND ANOTHER PAINTING WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE FRAME. IT IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE WORK OF THE RENOWNED SCOTTISH ARTIST; Sir William George Gillies, CBE LLD RSA PPRSW RA. PLEASE GOOGLE THIS ARTIST AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. UPON EXAMINING IT I COULD NOT FIND A SIGNATURE AT FIRST, WHEN SHOWING IT TO AN ART DEALER, HE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A FAINT SIGNATURE , LOWER RIGHT WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT AT AN ANGLE. THERE IS THE NAME, WHICH APPEARS TO READ, W GILLIES, AND THE DATE 1951, BELOW. PLEASE SEE IMAGE 6. I HAVE CHECKED OUT HIS WORK, AND IS VERY SIMILAR, IF NOT BY GILLIES, HE SAID HE WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO HIM. IT COMES UNFRAMED AND MEASURES; 42 cm X 43.8 cm. THERE ARE NO TEARS TO THIS WATERCOLOUR. PAINTING IS BETTER IN REAL LIFE THAN IN IMAGES. !! HENCE WITHOUT PAPERWORK OR PROVENANCE IT IS BEING SOLD AS ATTRIBUTED TO GILLIES.
