Elsie Zimmerman's Grackle (I believe!), c. 1930s School Watercolor antique American watercolor set flipping through this is toOne of two watercolor birds by the same young Elsie Zimmerman whose watercolored color chart I've also listed today. I'll never say no a naive bird drawing of this sort no fuss, just good, with a certain elegance and sense of resolve, too. I think this is a Common Grackle based on the combination of blue head, black body and yellow eyes. 11 5 8" x 9 1 8", very good condition, c. 1930s.
