Lovely Little Watercolor Boxer with Unfinished Opponent West German vase which has bubbled over time

which has bubbled over time making for nice crusty surfaces

and shows some staining to the interior

light artillery

bearing a strong resemblance to birds carved on effigy pipes and ladles

There are a couple of small drawn marks on the marble near the top of the nose

Lovely Little Watercolor Boxer with Unfinished Opponent West German vase which has bubbled over timeA little boxer with fists forever raised in anticipation of an opponent who never materialized! I really love this, all the more for its partiality, making it another among several today that feel very much like metaphors. 3 7 8" x 2 7 16". Ink and watercolor on paper mounted to paper, very good condition.
