Title: Folk Art on wood board
Post by: icedgold10 on October 11, 2013, 08:12:49 PM

Got this today.  It is a painting of a girl with a flower on wood.  New hardware has been added.  Any thoughts about period?  17" x 11"

By the style of her dress..I,d say Puritan.....16th/17thcentury..New England Puritans were Calvinists...

That's the dress, not the painting, ..... right?

The painting doesn't look that old but the dress style is that look.
