Any Idea's on the type of art? Only identifiable mark is 1961 in the right corner. 8 3/4" W 7 1/2" H

Nothing on the back? What is the medium? Is it an original or a multiple? In what region of the world did you find it?

I thought it was a grouse.

Nothing on back. Its in a frame, Montana USA

 

Stencil, or silhouette, or stencil silhouette? Even five years later and it might be tagged "psychedelic".

 

Reminds me of a linocut print

 

To me the bird looks like across between a bird of prey and a duck (fat and short) maybe something like female muscovy duck..

 

Pheasant..? Peacock..?

 

It looks like a linocut or woodcut. Very well done, that is a lot of intricate cutting. Might be signed under the mat.

 

Your close-up photograph of the date is out of focus. Are you sure the last digit is a 1? I ask because it doesn't seem to match the first 1.

Looks to me like a 2.

 

Sorry, It's a 2. I opened the back and took pics

 

No , artist rendition of "just" a bird. No way a grouse with the small seed pecking beak - it's a bit hooked which would also be a meat eater. If you notice - long flowing tail feathers - May be a rendition of a peacock

 

Agreed. Weird looking bird. Not one in the bird book. Also for a meat eating peacock it all depends on were those tail feathers end.. haha

 

Kinda ties everything together with the note inside the picture frame.

 

A pheasant with a peacock tail, so a peasant.

 

What a lovely gift and what a lovely find! A drawing then. (Hard to believe as so intricate but that's what the artist did.)
