Thomas D'annesse Bird Pen & Ink Drawing - 15.5x12.5 This calligraphic pen and ink drawing on toned wove paper is by Thomas D'annesse. Executed in the Spencerian ornamental flourishing style, the composition features a stylized bird, possibly a bird of paradise, created through intricate, sweeping pen strokes and cross-hatched details. The central figure is accompanied by three stylized tree elements characterized by textured trunks and fine, swirling line work representing branches. The work is signed in cursive in the lower right corner. The drawing is housed in a gilt-finished wood frame with a traditional molded profile. The verso consists of a cardboard backing secured with oxidized nails and a rusted wire for hanging.
