And then above the mounted photo

imparting this croc with a certain elegance

I also like that this buttoned up boy looks as much like a grown man as he does a young child--to me appearing as if well on his way to become a suburban banker

Hoary Comma Butterfly with Pink Flowers, Lovely 19th Century Ink and Watercolor Koren drawing And then above the mountedA few last 19th century ink and watercolor butterfly drawings from a portfolio of half a dozen or so I purchased from a favorite dealer in the Hudson River Valley several weeks ago. This butterfly is unidentified on the page, but a quick search tells me the beautiful orange creature is known as a Hoary Comma! Very finely done, with some gold painted details on the body and near interior of the wings, and then this very delicate spring of pink blooms.
