Antique Ink and Watercolor House with Tree Drawing seated hermes I have a sense thatI think I love portraits of houses as much as portraits of people, with the added benefit that the former make excellent vehicles for the rendering of pattern, which is very much the case here pattern packed!

Late 19th early 20th c. or so, I believe. Framed, as found: 8 3
