“Your Mother” Small 19th C. Schoolgirl Watercolor Drawing vase for bedside table the incised stripes and finThis antique schoolgirl watercolor drawing is just my sort, with a charming echo between the rainbow colored bouquet in her hand, the cheery plumes of her hat, and the dots and fans or flowers and shrubs all along the foreground. But best of all, your Mother written in penciled cursive letters which resonates in a whole bunch of ways! 5 1 16 x 3 3 4. Watercolor and graphite on laid paper. Old vertical fold line down the center, no real matter.
