Impressionistic Small Painting of Woman Sewing with Pot of Flowers cloak pin with a faint old horizontal

with a faint old horizontal fold line down the center that I don’t think detracts at all

Impressionistic Small Painting of Woman Sewing with Pot of Flowers cloak pin with a faint old horizontalA very tender, almost reverent little painting I think, oil on hardboard, of what I take for a woman sewing or mending, and who, dressed all in black, seems quite likely in a state of mourning.

Quiet and lovely. 5 7 8" x 3 15 16" and in very good condition. Signed at lower left but
