Blind Old Wooden Cutout Folk Art Dog 19th century engraved book Watercolor on watercolor type card

Watercolor on watercolor type card

bull all the better with a big bloom

woven with wool on wool I believe

1960s or so I would guess

and definitely done in pen and ink

Blind Old Wooden Cutout Folk Art Dog 19th century engraved book Watercolor on watercolor type cardWhat a strange one! I have to think perhaps abandoned before completion, or made by someone who had an unusual perspective on where a dogs eye might go! Whatever the case, I really love the rather surrealistic result. 12 inches tall, 3 4" thick, painted essentially the same on both sides, and in perfectly aged condition, with assorted scuffs and scrapes all to the good. And with a handy eye hook at top for hanging.
