An exceptional pair of original 1983 miniature watercolor paintings by the acclaimed British artist Marcelle Dorothy Shears (1926–1997), Member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters (RMS) and Society of Women Artists (SWA).

Unlike the common Peter Bates mass-produced prints widely found online, these are authentic, fine-art original works hand-painted by the artist.

They feature enchanting, highly detailed fairy and botanical folklore subject matter.
