Antoni with Roses, Watercolor Postcard, 1928 Mexican folk art animals with the hiker's hatOh, what a sweet young man this Antoni must have been, who painted this postcard offering roses and wishes for a happy day to a Senorita Taquita. The fancy outfit and Italianate setting make me think he may have been channeling Romeo, and I find the whole thing, down to the expression on his face, incredibly tender and just the right amount of awkward to make it completely charming. Dated 1928 I believe and in excellent condition. 3 1 2" x 5 1 2. No
