Wonderfully naïve watercolor portrait of a young woman wearing a long branch coral necklace.  The color brown is quite unusual and I wonder if her dress, necklace, drop earring and ribbons of her pelisse didn't start live with a much more orangey coral tint.  However, it is possible that it all started with these colors as the colors (including the bright pastel blue of her ribbons) are all strong.  A lovely bit of folk art in the original 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" papier mâché frame.  Circa 1820.

(#4089)     $850
