Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Faces, Stove, Star, Ships wonderful carving it's a little thing

it's a little thing

There's a large ink smear to the left of his arm and smaller stains all over

I also really like that the piece is done in what reads in person as black soapstone

and some wear and staining to the fabric lining

I'm not sure if the rest of it is constructed of actual matchsticks or just matchstick-like little sticks

Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Faces, Stove, Star, Ships wonderful carving it's a little thingThis double sided drawing came from the small sketchbook of a Willis Hutchinson, dated 1883 84 almost all the pages were already loose, so Im listing the drawings individually. These drawings are just my sort of thing, filled with people and houses and animals and ships and all sorts of other little things, from a croquet game to a pocket watch to a slingshot, plus many sorts of chairs and kites and a unicycle too! With pretty amazing attention detail
