C1830 Watercolor Watch Paper Floral Love Birds Martha Honeywell. This is a very well done but a naive watercolor painting of love birds in a basket, surrounded by colorful flowers and leaves bordered by pointed/geared decoration. This artwork in on wove paper and dates to circa 1830 or so and measures about 2 inches in diameter. Colors are strong but with expected minor loss to the borders. Her broadsides and newspaper ads frequently mentioned watch papers. ” In addition, she often used “pin pricks to imitate stipple engravings. This current offering shows them clearly, especially on the verso. I looked very hard to see if I could locate any of her initials on this work, but I could not. The only period inking I see are the numbers “312” on the mid-center reverse. Love birds and bicolored flower petals are her usual theme. Although not signed, this artwork can stand on its own. The artwork is on fragile paper. I’ve placed it into an archival sleeve and placed it in-between plexiglass, so both sides can be viewed. It can be displayed as it is. But rest assured, what you see is exactly what you will receive. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “01somewhere10″ and is located in this country: US.
