Description: Vintage George Post Watercolor Painting Description and Item Information Up for sale is this unframed, vintage watercolor painting on paper by George Booth Post. Please excuse any glare in the photos. This dramatic painting depicts, in an exaggerated, modernist style a coastal landscape. Atop steep cliffs, there are homes and trees.
