Emma Dilmore's Marvelous Bird and Girl and Flowers in Great Antique Lemon Gold Frame old toy animal And screwed into the backThis is one of several c. 1890s drawings by a brilliant young Emma Dilmore that I purchased from a seller near Kansas City, MO and just exactly the sort of watercolor drawing I am forever searching for. Double sided (reverse shown) but I think this purple crested, orange breasted bird floating in the air above two colorfully blooming plants wins, and gave it special treatment by placing it in a really lovely recently purchased 19th century lemon gold
