Three Forms, Six Views, Lovely Little 19th Century Graphite Shadow Study christmas gift And then the open book

And then the open book with square and compass and this wonderful checkerboard floor (mosaic pavement)

but I find this old card of four punch out die-cut skulls elegant

I think it would be especially nice with a few sprigs of lily of the valley

and certainly  feathers and butterfly wings seem all of a piece

and hers to the right

Three Forms, Six Views, Lovely Little 19th Century Graphite Shadow Study christmas gift And then the open bookJust a lovely small graphite drawing, late 19th century or so, drawn from three geometric solids sitting there on the table in front of its maker I am sure. With the direction of the light shifted from one row to the next so to be a study of shading. 5 1 2" x 3 3 4". Old fold line down the center as shown but will lie flat and would frame nicely.
