Description

Drawing depicting: Pyrrhula pyrrhula -- Eurasian Bullfinch. Alternate name on piece: Pyrrhula major [Northern bullfinch]

Note

Fine drawing on tissue. Correction marks and notes by Gould: "let me see you and you [?] for a minute before you go too far," "this wing dropped to much." Top bird originally faced the other way (see 1947b) but was traced in reverse, cut out and applied here as a tissue patch. Reversed on the stone.
