mounted to card

I think this carved wooden whimsy chain could actually be put to work hauling something

A bit hard to photograph well but these give a sense

and it is not just the sort of thing I love

Woman in Garden with One Raised Finger, Marvelous Late 19th Century Graphite and Crayon Folk Drawing, Period Frame muslin bag mounted to cardThis one I know was found in Maine, pulled from the personal collection of an artist and I purchased a few more, all portraits of women, by the same person, which I will list soon. Later 19th century I believe, and reminding me a bit of the drawings of Wayne Blouch of Pennsylvania (which I presented in collaboration with Ricco Maresca gallery) for their specificity and singularity. Her hair, and her hands, and her tiny feet especially do it for me!
