Naive Graphite Drawing of Barn, Signed Mel Crabtree 38 Years Old folk art lighting and seem in generally goodIt rather surprised me to turn this drawing over to find that it was done by a Mel Crabtree at the age of 38, or at least that is how I read it which makes me think perhaps the drawing was done to commemorate the construction of this barn, though I don't know for sure. In any case, quite a sweet barn, and a sweet drawing, with every beam and shingle and latch attended to, and nary an inch of paper wasted. 5 11 16" x 3 3 4. Very good antique condition,
