About the Item

Lots of humor in this watercolor painted by a Mexican artist who unfortunately did not sign it. We enter in a fancy world. Be prepared! Two trinkets featuring, the first one, an imaginary church with 4 big threatening birds standing guard, two on the 2 church towers, and two in front of the door. Behind this, we can perceive the shape of a big kettle. These surreal objects stand in front of a window, therefore inside a house. They rest on a small green carpet mimicking a meadow's grass. Outside of the window, we can see in the distance a landscape of medium-altitude hills and miniature figures – men wearing sombreros, some playing guitar, and a couple, perhaps engaged in fieldwork. The artist skillfully masters the watercolor technique, playing with transparency and allowing light to pass through the paint, reflecting off the paper's white surface, creating a captivating luminescent effect.
