Label TextWorcester’s holdings of watercolors by women from the 19th and early 20th centuries are modest. Among them is this vibrant European landscape by Massachusetts artist Margaret Jordan Patterson, who traveled extensively. After years of being country-bound during World War I, she resumed travel abroad with an affinity for Italy. Her paintings and watercolors from that period often revisit the patchwork of color found on the Alps’ verdant slopes.ProvenanceJames R. Bakker Antiques, Inc., 370 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
