Hill</B></I><BR><BR>Hill often painted watercolors featuring flowers growing in a natural setting. In these works, which are generally intimate in scale, the artist uses the stipple technique advocated by Ruskin to achieve a gem-like luminosity of tone. Hill was extraordinarily sensitive to form and detail, and achieved a stunning subtlety of effect similar to the work of painters associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in England.<BR><BR> <B>Condition Report:</B> In overall very good condition, on oval shaped paper and adhered to a sheet of rectangular archival paper<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
