Miniature 19th C. Naive Watercolor of Bella and Marion vintage printed matter perhaps glad to be freedThis is tiny, just 2 1 4 inches tall, but what a lot of character is packed into it! I'm not sure who is Bella and who is Marion (who care noted on the reverse), but what a sweet pair, looking as if heading off somewhere together, the leader's extended arm ushering the way and her flowery hat making one think it must be somewhere festive! 2 1 4" x 1 3 4", pencil and watercolor on heavyweight paper, unevenly trimmed but in. very good condition.
