Seductive Peaches, Mid 19th Century Folk Art Pastel in Period Ross & Hatchman, Boston Gilded Frame Jane Heald It's been quite a while

It's been quite a while since I really fell in love with a photomatic

with a bit of a Lucha Libre (Mexican Wrestler) feel to the painted decoration too

and with the staples really having done their job

It wouldn't accommodate anything much larger than those--but would be great for showcasing a collection of tiny things

He's definitely got some age

Seductive Peaches, Mid 19th Century Folk Art Pastel in Period Ross & Hatchman, Boston Gilded Frame Jane Heald It's been quite a whileThis somehow feels to me like the Dolly Parton of 19th century pastel folk art still life drawings peaches soft and sweet and all dolled up in this scalloped edge dish, but with darker mauve ish ground lending a sense of depth and complexity, literal and metaphorical!. There is often a certain strangeness to these sorts of 19th c. pastel drawings that draws me, and this one has that quality. Under glass in original period frame, 11 3 8" x 9 7 8"
