French Tailor's Receipt, 1900, With Scattered Portrait Doodles art pottery green vase The slate on the back

The slate on the back is blank

I don't really know if this was because she had few friends or not

but I might guess that they were and that they date to about the same time

feeling perhaps like workers' housing

French Tailor's Receipt, 1900, With Scattered Portrait Doodles art pottery green vase The slate on the backI love old pages of scattered doodles like this and can't resist them. And to my eye quite a satisfying overall composition formed here. Done on the back of a French tailor's receipt, dated 1900. Scattered toning and stains, and found folded in quarters, probably tucked inside of a book and forgotten for 100 years or so. 10 5 8" x 8". Fold lines and stains as evident which feel very much all of a piece with it.
