An antique watercolor painting on paper, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, after the original oil painting on canvas made by the American painter John Singer Sargent in 1885 to 86. The painting depicts two small children dressed in white who are lighting paper lanterns as day turns to evening; they are in a garden strewn with pink roses, accents of yellow carnations, and tall white lilies behind them. The painting is dominated by green foliage, with no horizon or other horizontal line to give a sense of depth. The viewer seems to be on a level with the children but also looking down on them. Unsigned. Circa: late 19th century to early 20th century. Framed. John Singer Sargent, 1856 to 1925, was an American expatriate artist, considered the leading portrait painter of his generation for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury. One of a kind artwork.

Dimensions: Framed 16 3/4 x 19 in. All measurements are approximate.
