Sad Eyed St. Bernard, 1909 Naive Watercolor by Katie Eby, Age 14, Pennsylvania antique two pocket folk art wall box And then a nice brass

And then a nice brass pull at the top of the very excellent stacked pyramid of a lid

as I'd guess it was done in school

Just in time for baseball season

and this crusty covering to her head that makes her seem very much like a swimmer or bather

A humble thing but this is truly one of my favorite finds ever

Sad Eyed St. Bernard, 1909 Naive Watercolor by Katie Eby, Age 14, Pennsylvania antique two pocket folk art wall box And then a nice brassThis is one of three watercolors by a young Katie Eby I purchased in PA from a great paper dealer, who I believe told me as I was purchasing them that they came from the estate of the important American folk art collector and gallerist John Gordon. Quite an empathetic and very soulful looking St. Bernard here, I'd say how not to love? Labeled in cursive in graphite at the bottom (in case the barrel around his neck didn't give it away) and signed on
