A unique watercolor and collage depicting a Massachusetts Village, mid-19th century.  Likely situated in Cape Cod, this piece features a cape cod style house on what appears to be sandy terrain surrounded by water. The scene includes a green picket fence, a water pump, two adults, and several children.  There are small boats in the water.  Label on the back is from the American Folk Art Gallery, NYC, founded by Edith Halpert in 1829, the first established Folk Art gallery, located on the second floor of the Downtown Gallery, Halpert's American Modern Art gallery.  The label also indicates that this piece was N.F.S. (not for sale), possibly part of Edith Halpert’s private collection.  Dimensions: sight 11.5” x 8.5”; frame 15” x 12”.
