Early Mid-20th Century Hand-Painted Nursery Fairy Tale Panels Set in Wood

About the Item

Fairy tales do come true, and here they are: Eleven brightly colored hand-painted panels with classic nursery rhymes. A group of 11 vintage folk art painted children's nursery rhyme panels in oil are classic. These early to mid-century nursery rhyme panels include "Simple Simon," "Jack Be Nimble," "Little Bo Peep," "Little Jack Horner," "Old King Cole," "Humpty Dumpty," "Tom, Tom the Piper's Son," "Hey Diddle Diddle," "Little Miss Muffett," "I Saw a Crooked Man," and "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon," sharply drawn and hand-painted, with hanging hardware mounted to the top of each on the verso. The pieces came from an estate sale. They are in very good condition. Each panel has a wooden back and an attached hangar. These would make a gorgeous addition with an imaginative or non-traditional spacing, gallery style in a child's room. or even installed in the hallway outside a child's room as an inducement (Let's go see Humpty Dumpty and Bo Peep before bedtime) to go to bed. Wonderful find.

Located in Chicago, IL
A captivating and intriguing early 20th century Southern American folk art panel, found in Mississippi, depicting a figure with what appears to be African tribal headgear, and wearing a white collared shirt with black suit jacket. The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
