About the Item

Blanche Grambs, whose career started with the WPA, was an extremely skilled draftsperson. Her birds are masterful. Here an eagle, a majestic bird-of-pry, stares down an unseen intruder off to the right. The drama is all in the body language of the animal. The delicate color and closely colored light-brown paper allow the tension to build. This drawing is signed in pencil. The dimensions are for the size of the sheet.
