Just my sort of watercolor, very naive, very charming, and to my eye just transcendently lovely. With what appear to be three different sorts of blooms emanating from the roundish pink form near center--the one at top right seeming to me a bit like a bird or a bee seeking nectar! And with two perimeters of hatch marks creating a frame around it, in a manner similar to early handmade rewards of merit, which perhaps it was made to be. On reverse: Sue Beougher (or similar), Nov 12, 1866.I know from the seller that this was found inside a book at an old estate in Ohio.
Watercolor on watermarked laid. 4 7/8" x 4". Good antique condition, wonderful color, with scattered light toning spots and one small lower edge tear. Just needs the perfect small frame.
