Ferocious Feline Graphite Drawing carved stone bird I just listed five more

I just listed five more pages of cut paper and hair work from about 140 years ago

which is easily removed

It's large to be a lap desk

which I must say does the trick perfectly

with a few minor stains

Ferocious Feline Graphite Drawing carved stone bird I just listed five moreThis one I believe was done by the same (unknown) person as the puma watercolor I have listed, but there's definitely a different sort of immediacy to it, with these bared fangs open at us! But, though I think portraying a wild cat, I love how much it might just be a drawing of the house cat in a particularly feral mood. Paper size 9 3 4" x 6 3 4". Graphite on watercolor paper. Very good condition, blank on reverse.
