Description
paper measures approximately 7 3/4" x 10 1/4"
dating early to mid 1800s
Delightful and colorful American pen and ink watercolor of iconic Pennsylvania Dutch Distlefink birds and flowers creatively accented with punched paper lining the subjects.
Somewhat 'make-do' framing but I believe that adds to its early Americana charm. The paper is smaller than the frame window so there is some of the wood showing from the front.
Examined and photographed out of frame and found to have some signs of expected age and wear including slight discoloration to paper and foxing.
Exterior of glass was cleaned of a lot of dirt but everything else is as-found. Appears to have been in this frame a long time as there is a mirror image of the picture slightly hazed onto the interior of the glass. I left that alone. New owner may want to clean it but I found it to add to its authenticity of age.
