That thing is amazing, whatever it is.
Oh, I didn't see your question. It might actually just be from 1900 like it says, but that does seem like a suspicious year. I'm not sure someone today would want to create something so oddly specific, but you never know.
Thank you @Rickzog4
Looks like a modern creation to me-- late 20th century. A photo of the back of the wood might be helpful.

This could be Myrtle McAteer who won the U.S. open in 1900 or Marion Jones who won Wimbledon in 1900. The hair and the dress match pics of them playing tennis in their day. Crazy they had to play in dresses.
Here same woman is on a weather vane . I am thinking possibly a modern piece made to look aged ?

Thank you Manikin and Rickzog4, I just discovered this place and absolutely love it.
Welcome to CW we love seeing new faces :-)
My guess is this was part of a set depicting different eras in tennis or other sports. Agree with Scott that it's probably latter half of 20th C. :)
