This is a charming and delightful hand-done antique Victorian watercolor, signed by the artist with their initials, "J.H." or "H.J." The initials are interlocking and on top of one another so it’s difficult to make out which initial is of the first and last name. The whimsical scene features a beautiful young lady dancing with a sweet little angel. Both have endearing faces and their playful movement is captivating. The soft pastel colors and lovely details are very appealing. The watercolor is especially desirable in its complimentary, original, oval wood frame. The frame is decorated with a delicately applied metal floral design at the top. There is a tiny bit of this missing. The frame retains its original gold finish, original glass, wire hanger, and original black paper backing with its original label from the frame shop in Philadelphia where this piece was originally sold. Also on the back of the paper backing is a signature which reads, "Mrs. R.O. Kohler C…".
