Sicily. a good watercolour of a Palazzo in Taormina, dated 1876

Philip J. Marvin: Palazzo di Ducedi S Stephano, Taormina, Sicily. An attractive architectural watercolour, 14½ x 10¼ ins [37 x 26 cm], on paper mounted on old card titled on the card lower left and signed and dated on the card lower right Mar ’76 Philip J. Marvin. The card is rather brittle [a break lower right is annoying] but the watercolour itself is bright and fresh. I am no art scholar but I find Philip Marvin’s work attractive and interesting. I have several of his works framed in my drawing room [one appears in the illustrations to this one] and would have kept more had space permitted. sep4/7
