Fine 19th C. Watercolor of Presumed French Dominican Monk animal prints a couple of minor hairlineWhether this monk achieved sainthood I am not entirely sure, but I believe his dress and hair style identify him as of the Dominican order, and I believe most likely French. I'm a sucker for a holy painting, and think this small one is pretty exquisite a fine fellow to add to the alter or wall of portraits. 5 5 16 x 2 15 16. Excellent antique condition. 19th c, watercolor on wove, with what looks like a small watermark when held to light.
