Slip measures 15 1/16" x 12"

likely along with the rest of the holy family--but happily still stands atop her original pedestal—two red painted wood squares and a blue painted carved globe with snake curled around it

Not a fussy thing about this drawing

with red on the face and back and gold around the rim

feels extra special for its diminutive scale--a perfect pedestal for carved whimsies or figures or other smallish things

Lovely Antique Pennsylvania Cutting Board with Mysterious Toned Shapes sinew Slip measures 15 1/16" xI found this one in Pennsylvania, and though I don't know for sure, it seems to me it might have been tin quilting templates that sat on this cutting board for a very long time, leaving their silhouettes behind. Whatever the case, feels almost like a photogram, with a nice sense of mystery to it. And with the wooden board very well used before or since, with knife marks all over. Quite lovely and painterly feeling. 13 1 8" x 9 5 8" x 7 8". Knife marks
