Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s stone fruit The frames total opening isI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
