Flock of Feathers! Stunning Fine 19th C. Ink and Watercolor FOE with some surface cracking onA stunner of a small watercolor, making these plumes feel truly as light feathers. Gorgeous. And I love how these feathers read both as stand ins from the diverse flock of birds from which they were plucked, and as a field of language which they might be used to pen. Beautifully detailed, terrific color, and as wispy as can be indeed, it rather makes one want to speak in whispers in front of it! 6 3 4" x 5 5 8" Very good condition, clean and bright,
