19th C. Naive Drawing of Horse Drawn Carriage in Period Frame shaker doll mirror There's an old thread stillI found this sweet mid 19th century graphite and watercolor of a horse drawn carriage in Upstate New York last week, probably not all that far from whence it came. Looks top me like the driven in his bright blue suit and top hat is enjoying himself, while the horse, with blinders on, trots along dutifully. I especially like the bright yellow accents on wheels and the horse's harness. Charming. In the period gold over gesso frame I found it in. 6 1 4"
