Elsie Zimmerman's Sweet Bird (Blue Flycatcher?) Watercolor, PA, c. 1930s vintage parquetry blocks 10 3/4" x 1" closedOne of two watercolor birds by the same young Elsie Zimmerman whose watercolored color chart I've also listed today. I'll never say no a naive bird drawing of this sort no fuss, just good, and this one feeling quite tender to me. I'm not a bird expert; an image search suggests a Hill Blue Flycatcher? Whatever the case, this particular bird feels very gentle:) 9 1 8" x 6", very good condition, c. 1930s I believe.
