Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s stone fruit Old water stain at lower

Old water stain at lower left

This one is much better in person--the intensity of her blue-green painted coat is really rather otherworldly

to land it a sweet spot where it feels pretty classic too

between her fabulous starry dress to his hat and bow tie and what one guesses is a handkerchief in one hand--and her standing on a dip in the ground so as not to be taller than him

The frames total opening is 12 1/2”w x 4 1/4”h

Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s stone fruit Old water stain at lowerI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
