This is an original signed Shirrell Graves Watercolour on paper, circa 1900 to 1949, framed, White / Pink Magnolias. Shirrell Watson Graves (1884-1954) was an Impressionist and Modern California artist known for his decorative floral watercolours. Signature appears on the lower centre along with a copyright symbol. He always signed his paintings without his middle name. In 1936, Gump’s, a luxury San Francisco department store, displayed Graves’s watercolors of magnolias, which The San Francisco Examiner called “placid clean decorations, some on a handsomely large scale.” The president of the University of Southern California purchased for the University one of the flower paintings after seeing them at Gump’s. Graves continued to exhibit his work in galleries throughout California, as well as at his own Graves Gallery. The painting is in superb conditon, professionally mounted in a matted gold gilt dentil design trimmed wood frame. Visible art measures 20.5"W x 28.75"L, frame is 34.5"W x 41.25"L x 1.5"D, combined weight is 14lb, 2oz.
