No. 51 - Drawing of a House by James G. Jones c.1865

A miniature framed antique pencil sketch of a house. Simple, subtle architectural art for traditional, classic, and small-scale wall art or home decoration.

Drawing of a House by James G. Jones c.1865
It’s a simple study of a house, but it feels like an anthem for 'Home.' The quiet understated honesty of the pencil lines contrasts beautifully with the deliberate drama of the ornate frame. Place it anywhere you want to invoke a sense of home that’s steady, thoughtful, and quietly assured.

This small sketch reproduction is printed on a heavyweight and thick textured art paper and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrostone plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our mini format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
