Dom Gregory de Witt (Louisiana/Netherlands, 1895-1978), "Christmas Time," 1951, watercolor and pastel, signed and dated lower right, titled lower left, with a Holmes Art Gallery label en verso, presented in a gilt frame, H.- 10 7/8 in., W.- 13 5/8 in., Framed H.- 18 in., W.- 20 1/4 in.

There is nothing major to report. No visible signs of damage to the piece. There are two areas of paper foxing on top margin by the mat, just above Mary’s head. The second brown spot is tiny and inside of Mary’s halo on the piece. The margin shows paper is fading/browning from age and use of non acid-free mat. The interior of the glass needs a cleaning. And the frame has some gilt loss and minor scratches. This is a really wonderful example of his work and in good condition. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
