DescriptionAgainst the background of a full moon set against a black sky, with a yellow strip of ground a woman in a red off the shoulder body suit and black socks or leggings moves toward the left, following a red bird in flight, its wings down. She has frizzy black hair, eyeglasses with yellow lenses, and a red cone-shaped nose. She flaps her hands like a bird and lifts her proper right leg. In the lower left corner, a kneeling figure in red puts her head and proper left arm through the yellow ground. Her arm extends below the square of the image to reach for red bird bait below.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
