Lovely 19th Century Academic Charcoal Drawing of a Dog patterned blocks Not at all my usual

Not at all my usual thing

I thought the classic white was pretty perfect

There is a bit of writing in pencil on the back but it is unreadable

I really love antique children's cups incorporating transfer text

Lovely 19th Century Academic Charcoal Drawing of a Dog patterned blocks Not at all my usualQuite a beautiful small drawing, charcoal I believe, clearly with its maker having been quite precise about the proportions of this dog's head! I like how two horizontal toning lines running from the left eye evoke a sense of this creature seeing both straight ahead and to the side at once, too! One heavy paper, initialed on reverse at upper right. 5" x 3 1 2" and in good antique condition.
