Who doesn’t love a cute puppy? This charcoal drawing framed under glass depicting a mischievous puppy holding a handkerchief in his mouth having a folk art appearance is very sweet! How can you possibly get mad at such a darling face?
What is interesting about his piece is that the drawing is reversed as shown on the backside though it lacks the detail present on the front. We know this because the paper backing showing traces on the wooden frame is no longer existent which gives us a clue about the reverse drawing. The paper surface does have some texture as shown by the close-ups. The pieces of paper that come through the back of the frame wedged in the recessed areas are fragile and I am hesitant to remove the drawing because of this. If I could it may or may not give us an indication of who the artist was if this piece was even signed. However it does seem to have similar attributes related to “Susan Waters” style who was a self-taught painter (1823 – 1900).
The way the artist captured the detail in this drawing is wonderful and the colors are strong. Drawing is original to the lemon gold frame that dates this piece to the later part of the 19th century (Victorian era). There are pieces of the decorative composite applied to the frame that are missing along with paint loss and age cracks. Glass is in good condition less a couple scratches.
Paintings and drawings such as this one have gained immense popularity because of the subject matter depicting sweet puppies, dogs, cats & kittens. Perfect to display in any room of your home that will surely put a smile on your face every time you pass by! Enjoy!
