The artist has chosen to omit details in the background, and, instead, draws the viewer's focus to the subject by limning her dress in a bright blue, and having her hold several flowers in her hand. The work possesses a whimsy and  naivete that bring a smile to one's face, as good folk art often does.    Sight size is 6 3/4" by 5 1/2", and the framed size is 10 1/2" by 9 1/2". Condition is excellent, with no tears or creases, paint loss,  or restoration. The inner frame, liner, and backboard are period and appear to be original.   Works of this type and quality have been bringing substantial prices at auction, and this would make a nice addition to any collection or dealer inventory.     Please be sure to check our other eBay listings for fine antiques, glass, ceramics, and folk art.
