Hummingbird and Yellow Rose, 19th C. Schoolgirl Watercolor Drawing antique glass box love all things book shapedThis one was found loose along with a few other drawings and watercolors (including the berries and legs drawing also listed today) accompanying a Pennsylvania sketchbook I will list soon.
