CIRCA 1810 PENNSYLVANIA FOLK ART PENMANSHIP

Description

An unsigned work of penmanship in ink on paper by Zachariah Reynolds of Washington County, Pennsylvania. Circa 1810, this image is perhaps based on Biblical reference of the Whore of Babylon on a seven-headed beast with ten horns. It is executed on a 7.5 X 12.5 inch sheet of paper and is attributed to Zachariah Reynolds who was well known for his penmanship. Around 1810 he executed a series of ink and watercolor charts of the internal organs for Dr. Leatherman, of Houstonville, Pennsylvania (see lot 346). This work is from a group of twenty works that recently surfaced in the possession of Zachariah Reynolds' descendants. An affidavit of provenance from these descendants accompanies this piece.
