Rustically Carved Smiling Nude Woman antique patriotic 'Vogan' shows some old presence

'Vogan' shows some old presence in Northwest Pennsylvania and possibly the Southern tier of New York state where this drawing was found

and it is one I handle pretty carefully as I believe it is really very old and somewhat fragile

it feels almost like a sampler

A bit unevenly trimmed along the left edge of the paper

paint is stable

Rustically Carved Smiling Nude Woman antique patriotic 'Vogan' shows some old presenceNot a master carving, but I think such a winning one, with the wonderfully awkward face to my eye the perfect counterpoint to the nude rest of her! As sincere as it gets, I think. 6 3 8" t x 2 1 8" w x 1" d. Very good condition, with some age but I'm really not sure how old or who made her.
