From the Personal Collection of Gertrude Vanderbilt
A beautiful coastal watercolor by Melbourne H. Hardwick.

This exquisite watercolor painting captures the rugged beauty of a rocky coastline, rendered in stunning detail with rich, deep blues that bring the water to life. The artwork is elegantly presented with its original paper matte, featuring a hand-painted blue teal border that perfectly complements the serene seascape. The piece is framed in its original gold gilt frame, which has been recently mounted with premium museum-quality glass to ensure its preservation and enhance its visual appeal. Notably, this watercolor was once part of Gertrude Vanderbilt’s personal studio and collection, adding a touch of historical significance and prestige to this already captivating piece.
