A bird bath and a swimming pool are the two subjects this India ink drawing brings together, and that pairing gives the sheet its character. Artists often worked in ink over pencil on heavy bristol board like this one because the crisp black linework reproduced cleanly in print. The drawing carries an August 26, 1969 publication date, when backyard pools were becoming a common feature of suburban life and birds visiting garden water were a familiar sight.
