Adelaide's Cow (or Cow Named Adelaide!), Antique Graphite Drawing original carving 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"I will never pass up a sweet old cow drawing, and what a sweet girl this old cow looks to be. With COW excellently lettered across the top, just in case not evident, and then Adelaide at lower right I imagine the name of the girl who drew it, but this cow looks rather like an Adelaide to me, too! Love her. 11 1 2 x 9 1 16. A couple of clean tears to top edge near left, which I have mended with archival, transparent tape on reverse, and are stable now.
