Description
An original watercolour on paper by British artist Nick Grant titled "Bassenthwaite Lake The Lakes". The composition depicts a tranquil lakeside landscape rendered in soft tonal shades of blue and violet. Delicately painted silhouetted trees occupy the foreground, reflected across calm waters, while misty hills recede into the distance beneath an atmospheric sky. Several hot air balloons drift quietly across the horizon, adding subtle colour and depth to the serene landscape.

The watercolour measures 9 by 26.8 in. (23 by 68 cm) and is signed and dated "N. Grant 2003" to the lower left. The reverse is further signed, titled "Bassenthwaite Lake The Lakes", and dated 2003 to the backing board. The artwork is presented within a glazed wooden frame measuring 17.5 by 35.4 in. (44.5 by 90 cm).

This is an authentic and genuine watercolour painting by Nick Grant. The painting will be packed safely and shipped within a custom-made plywood box.
