Many Faces in Profile, Wonderful c. 1880s Naive Graphite Drawing, with Inked Cow on Reverse! old stone fruit lemon with different arrangements of birdsThis one I found loose in a falling apart late 1870s early 80s sketchbook found in Pennsylvania, definitely of the place. There were some much more polished drawings in the sketchbook, like the ink drawing of a cow on reverse of this one, but I always favor the loose, offhanded ones happy and imaginative departures from the drawing lessons at hand. Just my sort of doodling. 10 7 8" x 8 13 16". Creasing and some darkening to the top and bottom left far
