It's a watercolor and ink sampler, I was told, by my great-great-great-grandmother, Hester Ann Mildeberger.
She did this when she was about eight.
APPRAISER: Eight?
GUEST: Eight.
And she finished it in 1812.
APPRAISER: And how long did it take her, do you know anything?
GUEST: I have no idea.
APPRAISER: I couldn't write like this at eight, I couldn't write like this at 18, and I still can't write like this.
(laughing): And I am just in awe of someone who's able to do this.
And like a sampler, it's also proving skills that a young girl has developed to become a suitable bride and wife.
The other interesting thing is, the painting seems so innocent and lovely, and the poem is about stealing birds.
GUEST: Yes.
(laughs) APPRAISER: That's why it's called, The Little Plunderer.
I would think probably at auction, you would see, conservatively, it might be $3,000 to $5,000.
GUEST: Really!
