This is the original cover painting for the adventurous romance novel by Carolyn Terry, with a backdrop of South Africa, published by HarperCollins UK, 1987  (I show the published cover for reference) The exotic landscape shines here, along with a beauty of a early 20th century character portrait - in landscape "wraparound" format, handpainted in gouache and acrylic on illustration board, 13.75" x 17.75"  and comes with a label attesting to its authenticity signed by Pether's widow, mounted to the back.
