About this work

This sketch shows a large, round bird—maybe a turkey—sitting on a flat surface. Its body is drawn with quick, loose lines, and its head is turned slightly to the side. The bird’s feathers are suggested with short strokes, and its legs and feet are simple but clear. The artist used crayon on paper, which gives the drawing a soft, smudged look. The lines aren’t perfectly clean; some areas blend together, almost like a quick sketch. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more works like it.
