Pink and Yellow Bird with Flowers and Perched Owl, PA Naive Drawing c. 1900 woman with braids There were some much more

There were some much more polished drawings in the sketchbook

but it certainly seems to have a good amount of age

and so all the more metaphorical of passage from one place

I am not sure if the slide-top box I found them in was made custom for them

perhaps the man with moving arms most of all

Pink and Yellow Bird with Flowers and Perched Owl, PA Naive Drawing c. 1900 woman with braids There were some much moreI found this drawing in Pennsylvania tucked inside a school notebook, c. 1900 or so. Just a joyful thing, this pink bird with yellow wings, worm in its beak and flowers of all sorts springing forth around it. And a little owl perched on one stalk too. PA for sure, graphite and crayon on lined notebook paper. 6 7 8" x 8 3 8". Very good condition. Paper is a bit brittle.
