A chemist by profession, Hungarian-born artist Klari Karpati retired early from science to consecrate her efforts on art. She exhibited extensively during the 1980s and 1990s in Ottawa. Her work is found in the City of Ottawa Collection and the collection of the Musée des Beaux-arts de Sherbrooke.
The watercolour is in excellent condition. Note the holes from the staples outside the paint area.
