Bennie to Emma, Later 19th Century Ink Drawing of Hunter and Fisherman in Boat collectible brush This antique Japanese lacquered tabletopIf I were this fisherman, I might get out of the way! I really like this ink drawing for the manner of it, with the rendering of the bearded fisherman especially good (terrific use of line), and I also like it for the sense of these two hunters being at cross purposes, and maybe soon to tip over while that deer runs off into the woods. Late 19th century I believe, from Bennie to Emma. And I like it for 7" x 4". Very good condition.
