pedestal-like silhouette that enables it to stand up on its own

and features a pretty charming angel-winged piggy declaring: "I want to be an angel

which kept them in great shape

Naive Graphite Drawing of Barn, Signed Mel Crabtree 38 Years Old folk art lighting pedestal-like silhouette that enables itIt 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,
