Cow Behind the Log Pile with Basket and Squirrel, Clever Old Naive Graphite Drawing stoneware canister certainly evoking a veteran's experienceJust 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.
