Featured Mid Century Painting of Nuns

I purchased this painting at a thrift store this morning. I really like the style and it reminds me of the works of a couple of my favorite printmakers from that era. I am assuming that it is an illustration. There was no information on the back and no signature. It appears to be on watercolor paper attached to illustration board. I am guessing that it is mid century, style and framing materials seem to suggest that. I believe the paint is gouache. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated. I did try a reverse image search, no luck.

 

looks like our Sister Maven !!

 

Wrong order, but Maven could always consider it.

 

Looking at the back address on the illustration board...In 1943, a system of postal districts was formed for major cities. Each district was assigned a one or two digit code that senders would place in between the city name and the state name. In 1961, they adopted the five digit codes. This could help date your piece, anyway.

 

Thanks, I didn't know that!

 

I looove that, wow! ❤️Maven

 

A cute one by Harold Stephenson I like (Nuns Fixing A Flat Tire).❤️Maven

 

There was a local artist here on Cape Cod who painted nuns with those habits.

 

Thanks! I really like that painting.
