Watercolors by Kuhn & Cummins

notes on back of watercolor image of girl

On the back of the watercolor image of the young girl
are these somewhat cryptic notes:

H. enclosed
J. L. Blue
Comp. Fair
dress a light drab

I would decipher these to mean: H. enclosed = a sample of her hair
was enclosed to get the correct color; J. L. Blue = well, even though I've
interpreted the first letter as a J, I think it is really an E that has been
partially erased which makes the meaning "Eyes Light Blue."
Comp. Fair = complexion fair and "dress a light drab" is self-explanatory.

Below is a much more detailed view of this watercolor.
It's going to take a bit more time to load, but it is worth the wait.
