From a long-time Virginia collection comes this lovely, vibrantly colored still life of peaches (or apples), grapes and plums.  This beautiful pastel painting dates from the late 19th century and is framed in a 19th century frame with wonderful alligator-crazed paint.  The lower right corner bears the signature "Watts".  The 17 1/4" x 13 1/4" frame has some scratching on the right side as can be seen in the photos.  Nothing that a little shoe polish wouldn't help….and I may do that myself when things calm down around here.
