Description
A figure in dark Victorian dress wears an oversized cream-colored hat crowned with a perched brown and blue bird, set against a warm beige ground. The monochromatic portrait is rendered in precise black and white photography or engraving, while the bird and hat trim are hand-colored in soft watercolor washes, creating a whimsical contrast between the formal subject and the delicate natural detail. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
