This is the last from a small group of wonderful drawings found by a young Emma Dilmore, early 1890s based on a few others in the group. And quite a prodigious young artist she was--which her mother or teacher seems to have recognized too, noting that she was only six when she drew these hens as a New Year's present for her Papa! I'll never get over my love for old child made drawings like this, so full of life and just transcendently good.
6 3/8" x 5". Graphite on a tissue weight paper - not brittle, but thin, and with a bit of loss along the bottom as evident and with some scattered toning spots. I'd frame it up straight away, a very joyful little drawing.
