Little Folk Art Dutch Girl and Her Windmill wolf and goats conquering the wire

conquering the wire

and especially the wonderful composition of this girl's parka--and the detail of her braided hair

down to the facial expressions of each figure

I am pretty sure is meant to be a parrot--fairly rare from what I've seen--and its green body is the perfect shade for it

I found this special box in Great Barrington

Little Folk Art Dutch Girl and Her Windmill wolf and goats conquering the wireI love that this smiling, red cheeked Dutch girl (with really fabulous eyelashes) stands just about as tall as the windmill, and I really love the spinning windmill especially, with the two little nails at its base doubling as the handle of its door. Decorated with a mix of paint, crayon, and I think some pencil too, and with wooden wedges on their backsides to make them stand up tall. Girl measures 7 7 16" t x 3 3 4" w x 2 1 4" d. Windmill 6 15 16" t
