Luminous and magical feeling. The watercolored red of this horse seems as if from another world, and the horse itself feels beyond time, too. Early-mid 19th century American I believe, ink and watercolor on wove. I am forever hoping to find old folk watercolors like this.
9 1/2" x 7 3/4" Framed, under glass, as found. Watercolor early-mid 19th c.; gold painted wooden frame, c. earlyish 20th. Old fold lines and a few small tears to paper as evident, as well as some scattered stains, all feeling very much of a piece with it and not at all detracting.
