This original watercolor was purchased directly from Virginia Bleck in 1969; she resided in my hometown. The painting is approximately 4″ x 5″ and is in its original wooden frame. It is in excellent condition. Because of the framing, her signature is slightly blocked. The framed picture weights 8.5 oz. Dimensions of frame are 5.5″ x 6.5″. Shipping cost is only a guess.
