Approximately 3 3/4 x 5”, matted, glazed, and framed. A richly colored watercolor. Wikipedia says: "Joseph Clayton Clark (1857 - 8 August 1937), who worked under the pseudonym "Kyd", was a British artist best known for his illustrations of characters from the novels of Charles Dickens. The artwork was published in magazines or sold as watercolor paintings, rather than included in an edition of the novels." Fine bright picture in fine condition, but not examined out of the frame.
