Naive Graphite Drawing of Barn, Signed Mel Crabtree 38 Years Old for the salon I believe this carving hasIt rather surprised me to turn this drawing over to find that it was done by a Mel Crabtree at the age of 38, or at least that is how I read it which makes me think perhaps the drawing was done to commemorate the construction of this barn, though I don't know for sure. In any case, quite a sweet barn, and a sweet drawing, with every beam and shingle and latch attended to, and nary an inch of paper wasted. 5 11 16" x 3 3 4. Very good antique condition,
