keeping it from spinning while up on the wall

with wear to the surface of the cardboard sleeve as pictured

with the white painted bridge at left representing a path between here and there

Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting Black Forest carvings keeping it from spinning whileJust in time for spring, and so pretty I think, plus the very existence of irises always kind of amazes me. I love the abundance of spiky dark green leaves here too. Just right. Oil on unstretched canvas, 14" x 9", earlyish 20th c. I would guess. A bit of old creasing along the left edge but lies flat now and is overall in very good condition; could be framed or just pinned or clipped by the corners to the wall.
