About this work

This is an open book with handwritten notes in blue ink. The words read *"La Valachie"* and *"Presiozi"* on the top lines. Below, there’s a smaller note about *"Aquarelles de mon grand-père"* and a name that looks like *"Pierre Presoz."* The page is yellowed, like old paper. The book’s title hints at a collection of watercolors from a place called Valachie. The handwriting suggests a personal touch—maybe sketches from a family member. Watercolors were often used for quick, detailed outdoor scenes back then. If you like old sketchbooks, check out lavis—a painting technique using diluted ink for soft, watery effects.
