Tiny House, 19th C. Naive Graphite Drawing hearth broom distinguished by the raised rimsJust the sort of little folk drawing I love, tiny but teeming with life, with a whole lot of personality to each of those trees, to say nothing of the very animated house! Found in PA, and sure feels like a portrait of a specific house to me. Paper: 4 1 8" x 3 1 4". drawing area: 2 3 4" x 2". Uneven size and rough bottom edge as evident; paper not fragile.
