SOLD Marvelous Antique Naive Graphite Drawing with Figures and Horses and Houses herons terminating in a blow hole

terminating in a blow hole at one end

then very carefully wrapped around a piece of round board

but I could stare at this all day--the colors are fantastic

its made of cast brass

SOLD Marvelous Antique Naive Graphite Drawing with Figures and Horses and Houses herons terminating in a blow holeThis one is 100 percent up my alley and one of my favorite drawings I've had, fabulously weaving together people and architectures and horse drawn carts and carriages in a way that feels both like a series of simultaneous vignettes and also like a map. I just love these rows of figures drawn in profile, most of them labelled with their names I'm sure each grouping representing the inhabitants of the wonderfully detailed houses they are framed below.
