About the Item
BIRD IN HAND is a hand drawn, pencil signed limited edition lithograph by the well known and loved British artist and humorist, Beryl Cook. BIRD IN HAND is a lighthearted, comical landscape scene hand proofed and printed in bright vivid colors of blues, greens, yellow, red, brown, black inks on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. In this amusing depiction, BIRD IN HAND portrays a romantic couple walking hand in hand as two vivacious, curly haired women perched up in the tree just behind them flirtatiously attempt to lure attention their way. The title BIRD IN HAND alludes to the English proverb - "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

English Proverb: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
Meaning - it is better to have a lesser yet certain advantage at something, than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing.
Origin - This proverb refers back to medieval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was a valuable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey).
Beryl Cook's unique artistic humor documented familiar social situations like girls night out, clubbing or shopping, men in the pub, at a strip club or at the market capturing "moments of social history, portrayed with a playful streak of naughtiness".
