DescriptionThis is an original concept sketch for the central figure in "Searching for Bird Bait". Against the background of a white circle cropped at the left edge and set against a field of black, a woman in a red off the shoulder body suit and black socks or leggings moves toward the left. She has frizzy black hair, eyeglasses, and a red cone-shaped nose. She flaps her hands like a bird and lifts her proper right leg.Provenance
