It's really a lovely thing

It's certainly had a life--I know that it dates at least to the 19th century

which would be equally great placed on the table or hanging on the wall

Cohen's work is also included in the collections of deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park

Small Early 19th Century Folk Art Watercolor, Bluebells carved book cover It's really a lovely thingThis is one of three small watercolors I purchased together, all dating to the first half of the 19th century and I believe all by the same maker. I think these rich blue bluebells with their super long stamen are pretty perfect, and indeed look rather as if ready to chime! Really a sweet one. Paper size 4 1 2" X 3 3 4" and in very good condition. There is a light crease at lower right corner, minor.
