Sweet Old Small Oil on Board Dutch Landscape with Windmill Painting hanging holder Books shaped flasks like this

Books shaped flasks like this were quite a thing during prohibition (I'm including a photo of a woman with one in hand) and this is a very fine example in wonderful condition

Super useful and fun

and for the play of hands encircling that doll

Sweet Old Small Oil on Board Dutch Landscape with Windmill Painting hanging holder Books shaped flasks like thisCertainly not a masterpiece, but I'm endlessly drawn to small paintings on board that feel atmospheric, and transportive, and I really like softness of the palette here, which makes this landscape feel pretty dreamy. Moody and cozy feeling, just like the Dutch countryside. 9" x 5 5 8". Oil on board, uncleaned and a bit dirty, but overall good condition. The piece of clear tape on reverse is not a patch, just left over from a tag attached.
