Pink and Yellow Bird #2, Worm in Beak, Pennsylvania Folk Drawing c. 1900 soldered tin with really excellent old paintI found this drawing (and a second very similar, which I sold several months ago) in Pennsylvania tucked inside a school notebook, c. 1900 or so. Just a very joyful thing this exuberant pink crayoned and graphite detailed bird, worm in its beak and pink and yellows flowers of all sorts springing forth around it.
