Photographing Watercolours

[maverick911]

I have the opportunity to photograph a watercolour by my great grandfather. I am intending to use a Canon 100mm f2.8 lens and natural light. I havent seen it yet and only have one chance at it. I believe it is mounted behind glass.

Any tips would be welcome

Not direct help, but a tangent:
Some people have found that using a QP 203 Card instead of a ColorChecker card during fine art photography will yield a better match of subtle colors.

I shot a friend before behind a glass window and a polarizer filter helped a lot to get rid of the glare and haze from the glass
