Cow Behind the Log Pile with Basket and Squirrel, Clever Old Naive Graphite Drawing 1812 or an artist

or an artist

but also became an unheralded artistic influence to many

I just love dice as objects

Like this wonderful spotted coach or carriage dog (trained to trot alongside a carriage to protect the occupants)

Cow Behind the Log Pile with Basket and Squirrel, Clever Old Naive Graphite Drawing 1812 or an artistJust a clever little drawing, which makes me smile, including for the tiny squirrel hovering in the bottom left corner. I really love the way those piled logs were drawn too, contained between the stumps of the trees which, one presumes, yielded them. 4 3 4" x 4". Graphite on lined school paper, very good condition, earlyish 20th century.
