with the squares masked out and the black paint applied

I have not attempted to polish it though certainly it would polish up some

with a thinner white thread used for its fine whiskers and as an outline around the entirely body

with some light rippling to the paper

Very Last of the Old Birdlover's Watercolors: Hooded Merganser Liberia Spithover stereoview with the squares masked outTruly the very last few today from a great bunch of old naive watercolor of birds done by someone long ago who was quite serious about his birds! Each and every one of them a charmer I think, this one portraying a proud Red Breasted Merganser, with wonderfully careful hand written attribution. 7" x 5" and in very good condition.
