Fat man smoking pipe

I love this little watercolor that I picked up in a lot a while back. It is so jolly and funny. I think those long pipes were popular in Northern Europe in the 19th and early 20th century maybe. I thought I had pinned it down a little better in regards to a probable region of origin but I’ve forgotten what I figured out now. Does anyone have a feeling for where they think it’s from? The initial signature is very nice and handsome but isn’t ideal for research. I think I’m going to keep this one. It brings me a bit of joy on each and every view. I recall the back of the frame lacking any clues. The piece is only around 3”x6” or so.
