Antique Bookplate Engraving, Drawing Instruction: Arms and Legs old painted wooden duck I would guess this

I would guess this

very good condition with a beautiful patina from age and use

but also great from an object design standpoint--and perhaps to keep handy for announcing one's daily mood

both from the same estate--both are very large

keeping spring near at hand

Antique Bookplate Engraving, Drawing Instruction: Arms and Legs old painted wooden duck I would guess thisI'm not sure what volume this bookplate engraving was taken from, but it's definitely an old one, and I just found it all these muscular arms and legs together pretty striking. Surely it, and two other plates I am listing separately, provided instruction in classical drawing. 11 1 8" x 8 5 8" on nice weight white pulpy paper. Rough top edge from where it was removed from book and some toning around the edges but overall very good condition.
