This is an authentic mid-century watercolor still life, signed. This highly charming piece captures a cluster of pansies in vibrant purple, yellow, and orange, blending traditional Japanese Nihonga influences with Western watercolor techniques.

Atmospheric Background: The surrounding greenery is executed with a wet-on-wet technique, creating a misty, dreamlike depth.
