This Calvin Ingram Fletcher water color painting is 15 ½" X 19 ½". The colors are vivid. There are brown areas in the painting from age and not being taken care of through the years, but the colors don't seem to be affected so much. The details and coloring are great. A museum director in Indianapolis he said he thought Calvin Ingram Fletcher may have done other paintings but had no specific knowledge. In the right hand corner of the painting it reads: copied by Calvin I fletcher April 23rd 1875 NAPLES. The picture has been reframed. I still have the old one but it is in pretty bad shape. I think it could still be salvaged.
Cloth Doll
Description:
I call him "The Suitor" because he’s looking at his wrist watch and he’s holding a bouquet and gloves. The doll is all hand made, has sown clothing, a painted face and is 12" high. It might be Mexican made.
