c.1890s-1900s Lovely Original Pennsylvania Dutch

Fraktur-Style Painting

Tulip/Onion Motif

Ink & Gouache on Screen-Laid Browned Artist Paper

Suitable for Framing

Size as Shown in Photo (with Ruler)

Provenance: This was purchased from an established auction house in the Amish region of Pennsylvania.  It was part of a portfolio of similar paintings, all by the same unidentified artist working in this ink-and-gouache medium.  Based on the age of the paper, the paintings are believed to be from the late 1800s or very early 1900s.  They are all old reproductions by this artist following the form and style of 19th-century Frakturs.

I have more of these listed, all from the same artist's portfolio, mostly 11" to 12" tall like this one.  I am glad to combine shipping (provided you message me for a Combined Shipping invoice after you make all your purchases--but BEFORE you pay for them).  To see what is still available, type this keyword in the eBay Search Field: X9TT4

[   CONDITION...   ]

- Lovely antique condition, from a non-smoking environment.  Well preserved, with no moisture damage or any signs of abuse.

- Age fragility to the paper, normal age toning/browning, and some chipping, edge tears, and minor age loss at the edges not affecting the central artwork.

The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?)  It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.

PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING.  I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.

DON'T OVERPAY FOR SHIPPING: U.S. purchasers, you can choose from various shipping options in this listing.  Shipping costs vary dramatically depending on your Zip code, so choose the one that best suits your needs.  I never inflate shipping to make hidden profits.  If you believe the shipping is too high, please message me with your Zip code, and I'll be glad to double-check it for you!
