ca. 1840 American, miniature, watercolor, folk art portrait of a lad in fine clothes. Importanly, housed in it's original pine, faux grain-painted frame. Probably New Hampshire or Maine origin. A wonderful piece of early Americana. Amazing condition and original surface.

The image size is 5" x 4". The frame is 1" wide so the overall size is 7" x 6". Incredible condition. Original wooden back was removed only to place the painting on an acid proof, museum mat board. Not attached or taped or dry mounted just cut perfectly to fit the paper. It is rare to find a watercolor on paper with no stains or damage housed in it's original, period frame.
