Antique 19th Century Victorian Watercolour Painting Sleeping Woman Bed Interior c.1870

For sale this week is a very accomplished watercolour heightened with gum arabic. The scene is rather menacing with a man hovering over a young woman lying in bed. I would estimate it was painted around 1870 and is British in origin. It is one of several by the same artist that I will be listing over the next few days, so it is possible this series is part of a set of illustrations for a book. The backing paper measures about measures about 27 by 22 centimeters. The image itself measures about 15 by 12 centimeters. Total weight is about 35 grams. Condition is good with birght colours and strong contrast. Minor smudges and wear in places from handling over time. Please refer to the photographs.
