or so I’d guess

The wood is a dark wood which has been painted/stained black

based I believe of the earliest of Gilbert Stuart's Washington portraits: the Gibbs-Channing-Avery portrait

Wonderful Small, Early 19th C. Folk Art Watercolor of Houses on Hill hand-embroidered sleeve or so I’d guessI was quite surprised and delighted to find this one when rummaging through a box of odds and ends at a not especially fine shop about 30 minutes from home the other day, but wonders never cease! It is a small one, but definitely an early one, c. 1820s 30s I believe, and I'd bet painted of a village not far from here. Great color, iconic New England, and based on how it was trimmed I'm sure it once lived in a miniature type frame with round opening,
