This lot features three pieces of Americana-themed artwork, comprising two framed watercolors and one folk art painting on a wooden panel. The two watercolors on paper are the work of artist Ellen Nelson. The first, titled Pilgrim Lass in script, depicts a young girl in colonial dress holding a bundle of flowers and a wooden bucket, set against a background showing a coastal settlement and a sailing ship. The second watercolor, titled Benjamin from America, portrays a young boy as a printer's apprentice holding a broadside within an 18th-century printing shop environment. Both watercolors are signed by Ellen Nelson in the lower right corner and are housed in simple black-painted wooden frames. The third item is a naive folk art portrait painted on a rectangular wooden panel. The subject is a man in a black top hat and dark blue coat holding a scroll, positioned before a coastal horizon with a three-masted ship. The panel includes an integral hand-painted border featuring a spread-wing eagle at the top and geometric star and teardrop motifs along the sides and bottom.
