Small Early 19th Century Folk Art Watercolor, Birds in Tree education toy I can't say for certainThis is one of three small watercolors I purchased together, all dating to the first half of the 19th century and I believe all by the same maker. This is the smallest of the three, miniature really, but completely charming I think, and with super saturated color on the flurry of birds and leafy branches, and if one looks closely a tiny nest perched on one of the branches. Paper size 2 7 8" x 2 1 8". Excellent condition.
