Antique Edwardian Watercolor Portrait Lady and Dog in Oval Wood Frame

An authentic early 1900s mixed-media portrait by ONeil Sayler, beautifully preserved in its original oval wood frame. This unique artwork features a refined lady holding her loyal dog, rendered with watercolor, ink, and a rare 3D paper appliqué technique - her jacket is cut, shaped, and layered by hand for dimensional depth, an intentional part of the artists composition.
The frame is crafted from warm, honey-toned wood joined with traditional splines. The front covering is likely a later plastic replacement, as many owners updated fragile curved glass over the decades. This does not detract from its display value and keeps the piece well protected.
The backing shows age-appropriate wear, and the artwork has gentle craquelure that reflects its history.
A striking piece of antique American portraiture - elegant, character-rich, and a charming addition to cottage, Victorian, Edwardian, farmhouse, or eclectic decor.
Size: approx. 16 x 13 x 1 in.
