Irene Hennelly's 1908 Leaf Ornament Watercolor fertility goddess I've found a few others

I've found a few others sets of stand-up animals and circus performers dating to the early 20th century

still in excellent condition but with a gorgeous patina

with not a chip or crack or flaw that I can see

established in 1899 and one of the nation's most important producers of industrial machinery

quintessentially mid-century piece

Irene Hennelly's 1908 Leaf Ornament Watercolor fertility goddess I've found a few othersI just think this is lovely and fairly unusual as far as antique ornament studies go in being monochromatic (aptly) and I think quite elegant in its relative subtlety; I'd hang it right over a gathering of matte green Arts and Crafts pottery and call it a day! 13 1 2" x 10", watercolor and ink of watercolor paper. Very good condition, with minor edge wear. The date. is stamped in pink at lower right.
