Sylvia Beckman
Herony III - color pencil drawing of newly hatched Heron

2018

About the Item

This color pencil drawing is reminiscent of a John James Audubon drawing with its precision and attention to detail, from the top of its downy head to its craggy feet. A baby heron chick, also known as a herony, is drawn in its natural setting of Southern Florida.
