A pair of French framed watercolors from the mid-19th century by Théodore Henri Mansson depicting Gothic churches in medieval settings. Showcasing medieval town scenes, one of them features the Cathédrale of Rouen in the background, and the watercolors are perfectly composed, using diagonals to lead the eye throughout the joyous scenery. Signed Mansson lower right, the watercolors are set inside gold and black frames with matting. With their small proportions and beautiful subjects, this pair of French Neo-Gothic style watercolors circa 1840 will make for a lovely decorative addition to any home, whether hung above a side table, commode, or buffet. The intricate details in Mansson's work capture the essence of Gothic architecture, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history and artistry of the era.
