Girl in Orange Coat and Wooly Stockings Antique Hand-drawn Postcard antique splint basket and then on the back

and then on the back we learn that the "spatulate hand" indicates an often tyrannical disposition

I am 99% certain it is cast bronze rather than brass

and then lovely button closures on all sides

and still just wonderful

Girl in Orange Coat and Wooly Stockings Antique Hand-drawn Postcard antique splint basket and then on the backI love this girl's orange coat and matching hat, and her expression one can just feel the harsh wind she is braced against. But best of all are these wooly brown stockings, pulled up high but it seems leaving just a bit of bare skins between their tops and the bottom of her green shorts! About as true a portrait of cold as I can imagine! 5 5 8" x 3 1 2" and in very good condition. Pencil and crayon I believe, and dated 1922 in pencil on front left
