Superbly executed in watercolor and ink, this charming and lovely depiction of Mother Goose nursery rhyme characters -- including Humpty Dumpty, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, The Three Little Pigs and Old King Cole -- was created by Maurice Greenberg, an illustration artist, in 1933. The castle on the hilltop, the swirling clouds, and the Art Deco trees all make this piece both whimsical and elegant. The piece is signed and dated.
