Winsome Colored Pencil Flowers Drawing toy ship with "Masereel" handwritten in black

with "Masereel" handwritten in black marker

surely a monogram

and with a great sense of future possibility about it

who pulled it out of an old Maine estate

the oak wood box is constructed of four hinged parts with triangular shaped ends

Winsome Colored Pencil Flowers Drawing toy ship with "Masereel" handwritten in blackI found this drawing in the Hudson River Valley while digging through some stacks of flat work and it just struck me as a good one striking just the right balance of cheerful and winsome, boldness and delicacy; sweet but not sacharine. I don't believe it's got much age to it, and haven't definitely placed the M McGurk who signed it, but I'm really quite fond if it. 16 1 4" x 10". Colored pencil on paper. Very good condition.
