Silvery Gold Blossoms, Moody 19th Century Theorem Watercolor small brush This reads to me rather

This reads to me rather like a salesman sample for a full-scale handmade straw broom

and a ton of useful information packed in

resemble hex signs

down to each little carved and painted square on the lattice below the porch

I've never seen that incorporated into one of these before

Silvery Gold Blossoms, Moody 19th Century Theorem Watercolor small brush This reads to me ratherA bit of an unusual theorem style watercolor in terms of the color of the blooms and blue spatter painting in and among them, which I really love, giving the suggestion of shadowy density. The effect is to impart the bunch with a certain moodiness, with a bit of a momento mori feel. And the color reads as a combination of silver and gold. 9" x 5 3 4". Watercolor on paper, c. mid 19th century. With the initials GR glued to the reverse. Good condition,
