Mary Baker's Woman on Horse, Crayon Drawing, 1917 graphic design More popular and of enduringThis is one of several crayon drawings done by a Mary Baker, a couple of them signed, and one dated 1917, surely done when miss Mary was in grade school. I love them all, but this woman on horseback may be my favorite of all, in significant part due to her excellent profile, tiny hands, and great yellow hat! And those extra large hooves on the horse are pretty fantastic too! 8 1 4" x 5 15 16" and in very good condition.
