Naive Watercolour Silhouette of Boy with a Whip

An unusual purchase for me, as I don't normally go for silhouettes.

But I thought this little boy was particularly elegant, in his dark suit with white collar, and riding crop.

Circa 1850 in a later frame, showing a little bit of age, in a new mount with conservation grade backing board which replaced the original which was of wood.

Sight:      4.5" x 8"         12 x 20cm

Frame:     8.75" x 11.25"       22 x 29cm

£ 225
