19th C. Graphite School Drawings Lot #5: Birds fishing 9 1/4" long x 2"As you surely know by now, nothing delights me more than old drawings, the more naive the better. These birds are from a larger group of 19th c. graphite drawings I found yesterday at a show in New Hampshire, which I've divided into sets so many fabulous little animals! . Nice detailing on these, especially how the tiny seed or acorn dangles from the branch just in front of the top one! All apprx 5 1 8" x 4". All in very good condition.
