Three Flowers, Blue Ribbons, Many Nasturtium Leaves, Lovely 19th Century Folk Art Watercolor carving of man but now with raised paws

but now with raised paws and puffy tail surely a bunny

making me believe it dates to the late 19th/early 20th century--and indeed the ribbon found tied around the top of it is an old one

including a couple British ones from the early 1800s

Drawing lessons throughout

but I've turned up a few related child sized examples out there

Three Flowers, Blue Ribbons, Many Nasturtium Leaves, Lovely 19th Century Folk Art Watercolor carving of man but now with raised pawsAnother lovely naive watercolor found in Pennsylvania, this one purchased from a favorite mostly paper dealer who has been a source of many lovely things. I really love the blue ribbon here, snaking back and forth with no apparent function other than to deliver one more pop of color to complement those blooms. Feels like summer. Late 19th c. I believe. 10 1 4 x 7 3 8, one small loss to upper left corner, otherwise very good condition, watercolor on
