maybe a little watercolor too

Framed: 19 1/4" x 16 1/4"

I would guess it dates from the 1960s or early 70s

with just a little bit of darkening around the edges from age

but great just for whatever

Cottage and Scissors, Sketchbook Drawing by Emma Ackerley, Sing Sing New York, 1870 hanging pine needle basket maybe a little watercolor tooPlenty of foxing and stains on this old sketchbook page of drawings done by one Emma Ackerley in 1870, but I love the drawings so much theres no way I could pass it by, and I find this combo of cottage with green tile roof and open scissors below strangely satisfying. Great details too, especially the shutters and curtains of the cottage, points on the picket fence, and tiny little pump out front. Signed not once but three times by our Emma, dated
