Description

Drawing depicting: Mergellus albellus -- Smew; harle piette. Alternate name on piece: Mergus albellus [Smew, or nun], Whether Wolf had a hand in this rendering is unclear; it may be his primary sketch, with the present drawing being Richter's copy from that., Fairly finished birds, with general wash for background; much annotation, mostly not by Gould
