Hummingbird and Yellow Rose, 19th C. Schoolgirl Watercolor Drawing blocks in slide top box Hard to resist a hand-carvedThis one was found loose along with a few other drawings and watercolors (including the berries and legs drawing also listed today) accompanying a Pennsylvania sketchbook I will list soon. I love a naive bird watercolor, and a watercolor of a rose too, even better a fluttering hummingbird at a yellow rose. 5 1 8" x 4 3 8" and in very good condition. C. 1870s 80s I believe.
