Woman in Fancy Hat, Antique Mounted Poirtraut, Currier & White, Haverhill MA whimsy knot with alligatoring creamy white paintLove her face, love her hat, and love how that fantastic pyramid of a hat is counter balanced by the stripes and flounces of her collar. To my eye formally just right, and a fun one! 2 3 4" x 2 5 16", very good condition. Stamped Currier & White on reverse, of Haverhill, MA. Late 19th c. I believe.
