EARLY Sherenschnitte Folk Art Cut Out Water Color Painting AAFA Fraktur Museum
Unbelievably rare find of a fine old cut out, Scherenshnitte with fantastic water color portraits of man and woman. This would likely have been a Anniversary gift, Valentine, or simply a love token. There are no names so not likely a marriage announcement. Pennsylvania Dutch or Moravian art likely. The piece is professionally framed and appears mounted on old fabric as where there are losses to the paper there are small foxxing shadows where the missing leaves once were. There is some white photo flash in the pics, it is not in the artwork itself. The frame is newish (maybe 80’s) and its mat shows some discoloration. To me it is still fine condition to hang and certainly keeps the painting and cut out safe. The cut out is of a thick rag like paper. As mentioned, some small pieces are missing but overall amazing that it is still so intact. There is a folded seam showing faintly in the center. The cut out features birds, flora, and trees. The beautiful water color portraits are fantastic. I have supplied very close pics. Please zoom into to see the fine detail and brushstroke in both the portrait faces and in the beautiful heart border and red stripe swag down the center as well as the freely painted lettering and initials. The frame measures 14.5″ x 14.5″. The piece measures approximately 8″ x 8″. This will be expertly packaged with care.
