A collection of artworks by Robert Ulmann and Peter including watercolours and a floral oil painting. This group consists of several framed and unframed works featuring botanical and Australian wildlife themes. Included are three framed natural history watercolours on paper depicting a koala, a wombat, and a platypus, each executed with a naturalistic style and tonal washes. These pieces are signed ROBERT ULMANN in dark ink to the lower left or right of the composition and are housed in wooden frames with tiered multi-tonal mounts. The collection also features an unframed still life oil on canvas study of pink and white roses, signed Peter in brown cursive to the upper right quadrant. An additional framed needlework piece is included, showing a cross-stitch study of red poppies on a light-coloured fabric, presented behind glass in a dark wood frame with a gilt inner slip and a green mount.
Condition report:
