Painting appears adhered at corners to a brown paper backing

all to the good I think and not actively chipping off now

Child with Toy Dog on Leash, Old Snapshot Photo scandanvian carving which I think likely happenedFound in New Hampshire near the Vermont border, and based on a some others in the stack I am pretty certain of the area. I couldn't resist this young child holding tight to the leash of their toy dog, even while seeming themselves about to topple over! As with antique portraits of girls and their dolls, I find photographs of children in focused conversation with their toys wonderful embodiments of the vividness of as yet un repressed imagination. 5 1
