Smiling Face Antique Painting on Silk resting birds and big ears

and big ears

and with her worn but still sparkly gold belt over long pink patterned robe-like dress

a bend in the cardstock weight paper near the lower left corner

to those antlers just clearing the opening--I find this drawing really wonderful

Smiling Face Antique Painting on Silk resting birds and big earsSuch a funny, cheery face! It was painted on silk, then very carefully wrapped around a piece of round board, pinned tight along the edges all the way around. It did have a ribbon with a little hanging loop attached to the top, but it immediately crumbled in my hands as soon as I touched it not too surprising as I'd think this is well over a hundred years old. I think of it kind of like a smiling moon, and might hang it high on the wall to watch over
