Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s stone fruit adding to its aura

adding to its aura

I think over time there has been some sort of reaction in the purple and green paint

between her fabulous starry dress to his hat and bow tie and what one guesses is a handkerchief in one hand--and her standing on a dip in the ground so as not to be taller than him

This one is much better in person--the intensity of her blue-green painted coat is really rather otherworldly

Very unfussy

Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s stone fruit adding to its auraI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
